Auto windshield wipers that dont fucntion properly in heavy down pours. The seats are power and they will move all by themsleves and move the driver either into the steering wheel or pull the driver back from the wheel and pedals. The rain wipers do not function properly, durning heavy downpours they just stop working making driving next to impossible. …”
