Whenever she activates the wipers, the marks left on the windshield are thick enough to prevent her from seeing the road. She called the dealer and offered them pictures of the marks on the windshield. The dealer stated that they did not want to see the pictures, and advised her to bring the vehicle in during rainy conditions for inspection.
