Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

  • Windshield washer fluid runs off the top of the glass instead of spraying evenly, smearing dirt and bugs and reducing visibility.
  • Driver-side wiper blade stops short of the pillar, leaving an uncleared strip of windshield that widens the blind spot.
  • Driver's side mirror glass vibrates or appears distorted at highway speeds, making it hard to judge distance or causing dizziness.
  • Rear-view camera image at night is described as blurred, with objects behind the car hard or impossible to identify.
  • Sunroof or a small rear side window has shattered or exploded while driving or in the garage, scattering glass inside the cabin.
  • Front defrost system reportedly fails to clear the driver's side of the windshield in freezing temperatures, requiring repeated stops.
