Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Wipers freeze mid-stroke while driving in rain and stop responding to the on/off switch or speed settings, sometimes returning to an abnormal parked position.
Backup camera and multi-function display go blank, cutting off rear visibility while reversing.
Heater/defroster blows cold or only from the passenger side, causing the windshield to fog and reducing visibility in cold weather.
Wipers turn on by themselves and run continuously, unable to be shut off, alongside other electrical faults like flickering headlights.
Heater core leaks fill the cabin with fumes and instantly fog the windshield and side windows.
