“-driver side wind noise: dealer tried to fix the problem but failed and now they are not willing to fix the problem. Wind noise is so loud that I can not hear approaching emergency vehicle -windshield wipers are not completely attached to the windshield leaving streaks (lose contact). I can see the bottom half when it rains.”
