Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall. At random moments without hitting the wipper switch at all the windshield wipers will come on. This has happened multiple times. Sometimes if I turn my blinker on which is a opposite stick they will activate. When this does happen my lights will flicker very briefly. I have had no kind of alterations done to the vehicle cosmetic or electrical so I have no clue what is causing this. And yes every time it happens it's while the vic is in motion.”
