Driving on highway in moderate and heavy rain or snow affects the windshield shade and visibility to see the roadway clearly. The shade of the windshield is dull grey until driving on city streets or getting off the highway. Car dealers had no answers or solutions in the past.

Rear windshield wiper motor would not turn off, even after the fuse was pulled. The dealer said it was a problem with the windshield wiper motor. This occurred when the car was turned on and stopped when the car was turned off. The normal wiper controls on the wiper column did not work. Charge to replace it was $500.00

Vehicle was parked. When i returned to the vehicle, the rear window glass had spontaneously shattered/ exploded. There were no signs of vandalism. I understand that this is a problem with the type of glass that is used, and that this is not an uncommon occurrence. Examples may be found on youtube.

Visibility/Wiper
I am beginning to notice more and more tiny specks evenly distributed on the windshield that appear to be in the material in the middle of the windshield because no amount of window cleaning can make them go away. The specks are very distracting when traveling into the sun and i believe are a safety hazard. *tr
