Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A small amount of snow / ice is sufficient to prevent the windshield wipers from returning all the way to the original starting position low on the windshield. For some reason this prevents them from functioning entirely - they just get stuck in a loop trying to go all the way down. I am able to lift them up manually but they won't do so under wiper motor power / while driving. I have a video that clearly shows the failure mechanics that this system won't allow me to upload.”
NHTSA complaint #11713447, filed 2026-01“Heating system fails to generate sufficient heat to defrost windshield or prevent ice buildup in the winter, also impacts the temperature of the cabin. No error codes are generated but it appears the PTC heater is not functioning as expected.”
