Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gasket on the right side of windshield slid down. Oil indicator light came on after oil change, and despite following proper proceedures, can't be turned off.
The windshield wipers system malfunction, causing the wipers not to work in the low position. But will work in the high position. Dealer cannot determine problem. Also a squeaky noise everytime the braking system is activated.
Windshield: dashboard angle and the angle of the windshield affect the driving visibility. A design problem which seems to be in most of the new vehicles . It really affects the ability to see.
While driving the vehicle at highway speed on major highway it was almost rearended. Went into neutral and the it was almost rear ended. This has happened several times. There is a service bulletin (tsb) 6771641. Took vehicle to dealer and they rebuilt the transmission. Dealer is aware of the problem because of the service bulletin, but is not honoring it as a recall. In addition, windshield wiper motor malfunctioned 3 times.
Transmission jumped out of gear, almost resulting in vehicle being rear ended.
Windshield has poor visibility due to shade from the dash board, windshield looks foggy at all times.
Windshield wipers do work properly when they have not been used for a while. When wipers are turned on they will not do anything until wipers are turned on high. This is an intermittent problem. Dealers have not found a cause
Review mirror is very small resulting in an extremely limited angle of view to the rear.
