Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

2014 WINDSPORT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TMC WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

NHTSA ID 11121388 · filed Aug 20, 2018

THE CORE ISSUE IS THAT THE PASSENGER WIPER BLADE WILL FLOP ALL THE WAY OVER AGAINST THE POST OF THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BLADE CAUSING BOTH BLADES TO GET STUCK. I HAVE TO STOP AND GET OUT AND PHYSICALLY PULL THE WIPER BLADE UP WHILE THEY ARE RUNNING TO GET IT GOING AGAIN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD WITH HEAVY GUSTS OF WIND, AND I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE WIPERS ON AND IT SEEMS LIKE A GUST OF WIND CAUGHT THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER AND PEGGED IT AGAINST THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER, CAUSING BOTH TO GET STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT FREE, BUT WITH THE WIND THAT HIGH IT KEPT DOING IT. WHEN I GOT HOME AND TURNED THE WIPERS ON TO INVESTIGATE, THEY WORKED FINE, SO I JUST ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE GUSTY CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO USE THE WIPERS WHILE SITTING STILL AND IT DID IT IMMEDIATELY. SO AT THIS POINT THE WIPERS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
