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.
I found out after I had to replace the windshield wiper motor because the wipers would only work intermittently and that there had been a recall. I had purchased a motor and installed it myself to save $100 over the cost of a motor from the dealer, not to mention labor. The dealer would only reimburse me $42, which it said was the cost of the circuit board. At the time I had to replace the motor, the circuit board was not available to me. I only think that I should have been reimbursed for my actual expenses which totaled about $70 for a rebuilt motor. (the dealer wanted $170 for a motor).
Driving the truck in rainy weather and turning on the windshield wipers, the wipers will come on, and then they will stop functioning, causing poor driving visibility for the driver. The driver has to get out of the truck, and move the wipers before they will start working again. Took truck to dealer and had repaired. Was told that the wiper motor was causing the wipers to not work.
