Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report
- Windshield wipers stop mid-stroke or fail to respond entirely while driving, sometimes returning after the vehicle is serviced without a fix.
- AC or defroster malfunctions let moisture and fog build up on the interior windshield and side windows, blocking visibility especially in wet or humid weather.
- Windshield weather stripping traps water at the glass seams, causing air bubbles between the glass and rubber seal that owners say can lead to cracking or separation.
- Backup camera image becomes speckled and hard to read at night, though it works fine during the day.
- Sunroof glass has shattered without warning or impact while driving, with the cause undetermined by the dealer.
