Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

  • Sunroofs reportedly shattered or exploded spontaneously while driving at highway speeds, with glass fragments landing on occupants or being caught by the sun shade.
  • Windshield wiper motors reportedly failed at relatively low mileage, with owners unable to find replacement parts locally.
  • Windshield washer fluid reportedly froze inside the reservoir in cold weather, leaving no washer fluid available and reducing visibility.
  • Drivers reported windshields with a coating or laminate defect that worsened glare and reduced visibility in rain or at night.
  • Low beam headlights reportedly failed to illuminate the roadside or adjust properly on hills, leaving road signs and objects poorly lit.
  • Owners reported distortion in the expanded-view mirror that made oncoming vehicles appear duplicated or misjudged in distance.
