Example complaints

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

“The windshield washer fluid dispensing nozzles do not effectively cover the windshield. Almost all of the spray is in a very concentrated area of the lower windshield. The fluid squirts onto the two locations on the windshield and gets wiped away by the wipers as soon as they move. The rest of the windshield gets virtually no fluid applied. This causes a significant safety hazard under many conditions. Most notably: - During light precipitation when the windshield is mostly dry, but not wet enough to actually allow the wipers to clear road dust/dirt. …”
