“There is no rear windshield wiper and the design of the car causes much dirt/gunk to build up HEAVILY obscuring visibility There are times where I'm driving at night (esp. when it's raining) where I can barely make out the cars/objects behind me. It is very dangerous”
NHTSA complaint #11509870, filed 2023-03“This car has detailed complaints online for the absence of a rear wiper causing zero visibility during afternoon rain and thunderstorms. In the event of a white out situation, the driver assistance systems fail to work due to hazardous conditions. You also cannot see out of the rear window or side mirrors because of a design defect. The car has been reported to Jenkins Hyundai of Ocala, where the service department is aware and informed me that Hyundai is aware of the safety concerns, but cannot fix the situation or will not offer a fix to the serious safety concern. …”
NHTSA complaint #11535115, filed 2023-07“When driving down the road, road debris and water blind the back windshield. There is no wiper and the design does not clear off the back windshield, causing you not to be able to see out the back windshield. This is causing a safety issue with the vehicle, and I almost had an accident because of it. Additionally, the side mirrors will not clear off water, causing them not to be able to use during rain storms. This vehicle is not safe as is. Hyundai has stated it is a design defect and they won’t do anything about it, per the corp office and the dealership, Jenkins Hyundai in Ocala, Fl”
