Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Every time it rains hard my vehicle won't start and if it does the wipers and radio will not operate when I put in reverse or drive. I took it to the dealership and they told me that it was the right side windshield seal. I asked them if this was a manufacture defect and they said no that it was the shifting of the glass when I run over bumps. The same thing was happening to a f-250 p/u when I took my vehicle in. They told me that they would have to replace the fuse box, gear module, rear wiper motor. …”
