It started to rain heavily so I turned on the windshield wipers. It was raining so hard I couldn't see so I put the wipers to the fastest setting possible. The moment the wiper on the left reached the far left side of the windshield the wiper came off the windshield and banged the side of the car (the frame) and then flew into the air. The wiper comes off the windshield each time you turn them on full blast. As a result my vision is impaired and I can't see through the rain to drive. I can't see the lanes to stay in the lines or the cars in front of me. This is going to cause an accident due to the faulty wiper. I haven't replaced the wipers yet because I just bought the car a little over a week ago. Also I was in the middle of a far drive when I noticed my front driverside tire was low. I stopped at the gas station and put air in the tire. I reached my destination about midnight so I went straight to sleep when I got there. The next morning I noticed that same tire was low almost flat again. I took the tire off and checked it for holes or nails. None were visible to the eye. I had a full size spare so I put the spare on. But now I don't have a reliable spare tire and if one of my tires pops unexpectedly I'm out of luck because the faulty tire is in my trunk instead of a reliable tire. Im going to purchase another tire to keep as a new spare but because I haven't had the car itself long, I think the dealership didn't do a safety inspection since the tire and wipers are defective.
