About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This is a continuing problem when it rains. The intermittent setting on the windshield wipers is ineffective and I believe dangerous as visibility is significantly impaired. During moderate rainy periods, the interval, which is supposed to be sensed by devices in the windshield responds erratically, with intervals varying from over 30 seconds to about 2-3 seconds and then intervals in-between. This is particularly challenging when passing trucks on limited access highways where the passing time can be extended by traffic. Requests for repair of this erratic operation have been made, but without resolution of the problem. I have been to the dealer twice and no resolution.
