NHTSA complaint #11193025, filed 2019-04, 13,852 miles“Every time I use the wipers on a trip in the rain the passenger side gets stuck on the drivers side which makes them stop working.

NHTSA complaint #11090907, filed 2018-04, 3,700 miles“While driving cross country we experienced a complete failure of the wipers during a hard rain. The wipers dropped off the windshield but we were able to pull over and reset them. Once we started back onto the road, they failed again. We ended up driving to the campsite with no wipers. We had a mechanic come to look at the problem and was told it needed a complete assembly. We decided to wait till we got home before having the wipers repaired. When home, we went to a thor dealer who informed us there was no recall on this problem on our model and we paid $300.00 to have the wipers fixed. …”
