Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

  • Windshields develop cracks that start small near the wiper blades and spread across the glass without any visible impact from a rock or debris.
  • Some owners report the same windshield location cracking again after repair, in one case within a year of the first fix.
  • Wipers reportedly sit too far below the defroster vents, so in cold weather they freeze to the glass and fail to clear enough windshield area to see the road.
  • A sunroof glass panel and its interior cover reportedly opened or shattered while driving, scattering fragments inside the vehicle.
  • A power sunroof failed to close fully after a plastic piece on the sunroof rail broke, leaving the wind deflector stuck up and blocking closure.
