Example complaints

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Passenger side windshield wiper slams down underneath the drivers side wiper causing all wiper action to cease during rainstorms. Creates a deadly issue while driving an 11 ton unit down the road.. I believe there is a design flaw with the system - too thin of a mounting plate for the wiper motor allowing too much flex which allows wiper linkage from motor to arms hang up on motor mounting bolts. I have had the vehicle at two different dealers which say they fixed it. They didn't.”
