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.
During winter driving with temperature at 18 degrees the windshield wipers became inoperative after 45 minutes of use in wash mode. Water/ice builds up under a plastic cowl, this cowl hides the windshield wiper mechanics. The ice build up prevents operation of the windshield wipers. A friend of mine who is a 2005 VW Jetta owner has reported this identical problem with his car. VW has refused to cover this repair under warranty, claiming this is an environmental problem.
