Automobile requires special windshield wipers which are only available through dealers. These are currently on "national backorder" with no time to fulfill. Wipers are generally of poor quality anyway and thus the need to replace to maintain visibility is imperative.
Windshield wipers "bounce"/"stutters" across the wind shield in light to mild rain causing unsafe visibility while driving the vehicle. Manufacturer warrants wipers for period of 12,000 miles, dealer was told about the unsafe conditions, however they did not document my complaint. They always told me that they were ok.
Whenever you use the windshield washer, some of the fluid gets into the vent and you can smell it in the cabin and even sometimes taste it as you are driving. I believe windshield washer fluid is toxic. I have two late model Volkswagen, they both do this everytime. I've never experienced this with any other car I've driven before.
Consumer states that while driving and when wipers are in motion the wiper arm is causing a crack to appear on the front windshield. Dealer will be notified.
