Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report
- Wipers running on the fastest continuous or intermittent setting slow down and stop after about 30 to 80 seconds, forcing the driver to cycle the switch to restart them.
- Wiper slowdown happens across driving speeds and during active rain or snow, temporarily cutting visibility.
- Some owners report windshield cracks forming near the wiper blade area or spreading from a corner without any known impact.
- Wipers on the highest speed setting are described as too slow to clear moderate or heavy rain compared to other vehicles.
- One owner reported the Sync 4 infotainment system randomly rebooting, which also disabled the rear camera and blocked the rear blind-spot view.
