Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Windshield seal failed, resulting in water leak. I also understand that the windshield bonding failure may result in the airbags failing to function as they should.”
NHTSA complaint #10726452, filed 2015-06, 68,000 miles“My car has an odor for days after it rains when the windshield streams water above the drivers stearing wheel and also allows water to stream down into the driver's side floor board- it's a full on stream of water that comes out the top corner driver side of the windshield and rolls down over the stearing wheel and drivers hands and down through the drivers floorboard over the accelerator and the drivers feet. I've been in the car during the rain and while at the car wash to witness this streaming of water. …”
NHTSA complaint #11258379, filed 2019-09“The front windshield (original, factory) adhesive has failed and the windshield is loose. Besides the annoyance of water leaking in, this is a safety issue since the windshield is a structural component which retains the airbags and occupants. This is apparently a fairly common known issue with the factory windshields.”
