Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The Maintenance Mode required to change the wiper blades malfunctioned, and the wipers- without the rubber blades attached- suddenly smashed onto the windshield, creating a large star crack/shatter, which spread across the entire windshield in two long cracks by the next day. If someone's hand had been in the path of the wipers, it would have been cut or broken by the force/sharp edge. The Maintenance Mode should not disengage unless the car is seriously jostled or put into gear (did not occur). …”
