NHTSA complaint #11414959, filed 2021-05, 500 miles

2021: “When driving in heavy rain with the wipers on high they will hit each other. Thus, coming lose. It only does it when there is rain and wind while driving even at just 50 MPH. Dealership sprayed hose on it and could not replicate the effect. Well drive it and you will see. Terrible to spend over137k for something I can't drive in a rain storm.”
