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 was driving long-distance on a highway at approx 55-60 mph. The whole trip through the Arizona desert was marked by periodic rain, at times very heavy. In the very heavy bursts of rain, the windshield wipers did a terrible job. I have never been shocked by poorly performing windshield wipers. My companion even commented on how unsafe it is. The problem may be two-fold: (1) it seems like the wipers needed one more speed settings, a faster one. (2) the factory blades may not be effective. This is a 2 month old car. It also seemed to be a problem anytime I had to turn the wipers on their highest setting even later on urban freeways - I needed a higher one. I plan to replace the blades and hope that helps. I've never been driving and feared I was in danger because of the wipers. I don't have any documentation. Nothing is visibly broken.
