Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The wiper blades malfunction. When driving with the wipers on, the right wiper gets stuck under the left wiper and both become inoperable. We have been caught in heavy rains several times with the same results. I went from 26 inch wiper blades to 21 inch blades and the same thing happened. I have removed the right side wiper, and use the left wiper sparingly. It has happened when I am driving 65 MPH and when I have seen stationary. I have discovered that many people are having the same problem. My only solution is I have been using rainx. …”
