Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The window defrost blower motor fails to work after starting the car. Also the rear window electric defrost fails. This could lead to impaired visibility during winter or rain conditions when the windshield fogs or ices up. There is an apparent short in the ignition switch causing this. After engaging the starter, the ignition switch fails to return to the proper position for the above accessories to work. The driver must jiggle the key and ignition switch backwards to almost the off position to restore power to the blower motor and rear defrost. …”
