About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
On multiple occasions over the winter, when temperatures were below freezing and snow was present on the car and it was snowing, it was impossible to clear the front windshield of all precipitation and the front windshield would ice over as the windshield wipers worked. Snow would accumulate in the area below the windshield/at the top edge of the front hood. The defrosters are set down below the bottom of the windshield and seemed to contribute to the icing problem. I had to pull over multiple times in short distances to clear my windshield, but in certain cold conditions the ice would be incredibly difficult to remove as the wipers were adding moisture and thickening the film of ice; this condition makes for incredibly difficult and dangerous winter driving.
