Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“It started to rain heavily so I turned on the windshield wipers. It was raining so hard I couldn't see so I put the wipers to the fastest setting possible. The moment the wiper on the left reached the far left side of the windshield the wiper came off the windshield and banged the side of the car (the frame) and then flew into the air. The wiper comes off the windshield each time you turn them on full blast. As a result my vision is impaired and I can't see through the rain to drive. I can't see the lanes to stay in the lines or the cars in front of me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10287313, filed 2009-10, 88,415 miles“I had just purchased a used 2001 automatic Honda Civic lx coupe and its at about 116,000 miles and the transmission went out.

I pulled off to the side and turned off my vehicle and restarted the car and everything was fine. A couple days later the same thing happened and it felt like my car was jerking trying to switch gears. …”
