- Gardner, MA, USA
While in motion on a city street, my instrument cluster panel lit up, windshield wipers turned on and couldn't be turned off, turn signals stopped working, as well as the speedometer, odometer, temperature gadge, radio, and heating/cooling system. The vehicle still drives, but is not safe to be on the road due to no speedometer and turn signals. Also, my driver side window was rolled down and is now stuck in the downward position

Windshield wipers will not come on in rain as designed. When operated manually they only work in very slow mode. This issue occurs both in motion and when stationary. No warning or code from the cars dash.
- Douglasville, GA, USA
Radio, gauges, turn signals, and ac randomly stop working. Wipers turn on at the same time. Some times for seconds, sometimes for hours. There does not seem to be a trigger as it has happened while driving on the highway, back roads and even stopped in the driveway. No way to reset the car once it is in dead radio/ac/gauges mode, it will only reset itself, again randomly. I tried pulling the battery cable and waiting, then re-attaching to no avail.

It appears my electric defogger remained on and blew out my rear window.
- Harlingen, TX, USA
Headlights & wipers started coming on at the same time and I had no control over them. The wipers would say on for about 3-5 minutes and headlights would stay on for about 15-20 minutes. Next the radio would freeze up. Then the push button start would not always work the first time, had to repeat it a few times to start. Next alarms would go off in the car, with no symbols on the dash. Then the power 3rd row seat would move forward and revers with my grandson sitting in the seat. Car was unsafe to drive, too many electrical problems going on!

I was driving on highway and it was raining. My windshield wipers were on but then started acting funny. They were going off the side of my car, going very slow, only going 1/2 way. They were going so hard that I could feel it in my brakes. My windshield broke and they stopped working. It was raining so hard I couldn't see anything and had to make an emergency stop on the side of the highway. I had the car towed to the dealership and they told me the fuse blew and that the linkage wrapped around something and blew the motor and cracked my windshield. I called the manufacturer but they said that it was out of my warranty period. This is a 2014 that I just purchased brand new last year. I work an hour away so my car does have 42K miles but it shouldn't do this. I have a video of what my window wipers were doing when they were acting funny. This video shows clearly there was no crack in my windshield at that time.
