Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Front washer nozzles stop dispensing fluid in cold weather even though the rear nozzle still works, leaving the windshield covered in road salt and grime.
Backup camera shows a black screen with a 'camera system failure' error, sometimes tied to a recall (20V-439) that owners say parts were on back order for.
No warning light alerts drivers when windshield washer fluid runs low, which owners say created a sudden loss of visibility on salted highways.
Wipers cycle at the wrong speed or fail to respond correctly, sometimes alongside other electrical system faults like blind-spot and lane-departure warnings going out.
Rain-sensing wipers on Touring and Elite trims cannot be turned off or switched to a manual intermittent setting.
Sunroof or rear quarter glass reported cracking or shattering spontaneously with no prior damage or impact.
