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.
The nut that secures the driverS side wiper arm to the drive shaft came loose during a driving rain storm while traveling on the pa turnpike. The wipers were operating on the highest speed. The wiper arm flew off from the drive shaft and came to rest against the driverS side view mirror. DriverS vision immediately and severely impaired due to the heavy downpour and only with great difficulty and caution (negotiating through other truck/car traffic) was able to pull off to the side off the road. You would expect a nut, securing such a critical item, would be designed not to come loose. Turnpike service reattached the wiper arm and nut at no charge.
