Ice builds up on windshield while snowing. Wipers build up ice and stick to windsheild

Filed Oct 26, 2018 · Electrical, Fuel system · IN

Fuel is leaking into the oil. The dealer just suggested changing the oil more often. I know this is a defect but what can I do? The electrical system is not reliable....one day my passenger window would not work from my control on the driver's side. Finally it did--this was when parked. They replaced once and then "updated" the infotainment system once because of very disruptive things that happen on the screen while driving. Once (this was parked) it totally locked up my iphone so that I could not use it even after I shut the car off (I was parked and had turned the car on ) and rebooted my phone! Once I got locked out of my car after opening the trunk and closing it...my fob would not work and when I used the key, it set off the alarm, flashed the lights and reset all my personal settings. Sometimes the steering wheel radio controls lock up and don't work. Many times the radio screen goes black when I am driving and not touching it. One time it started beeping and would not stop....very dangerous as I try to drive with the beeping. And, my windshield wipers are very sporadic....does not matter if I try resetting them to auto....when it is not raining they go crazy, when it is raining they stop....sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I have to spend too much time trying to get the car systems to work while driving that this is as dangerous as can be. The electrical system of this car is a lemon...and has been from the start. I have at most about 9,000 miles on this car but started noticing glitches long before 6,000. This is the top of the line car in this model.

The windshield wipers are too weak to handle a medium to hard rain storm. I was caught in a bad storm while on the freeway and had my windshield wipers on full setting but still not strong enough to allow safe visibility. It was a very dangerous and frightening experience.

Third brake cover off, and they told me that now can not be permanently repaired, when you depress the brake entire glass is red . Wipers can not clean the windscreen .
