When any salt or other road debris is present on the windshield, the windshield wiper along with the washer fluid does not clean the windshield. Instead the windshield visibility is worse leading to low visibility. Overall I believe there are two flaws: 1. The wiper does not have enough downward force to keep enough contact with the windshield 2. When you attempt to clean using the washer fluid spray there is not enough washer fluid sprayed onto the windshield. Instead the amount is so low that it leads to additional streaking causing additional visibility issues. Due to this anytime I drive with salt on the roads I am at an increase risk to any issues that can occur during lower visibility while driving. Many others have also reported the same behavior [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving in a rain storm and the wiper started to malfunction. Would only clean half the windshield. Then shut off completely. Made a weird noise and started smoking in the front.Started working for on wipe then did a 360 on front end of the car. Wiper blade flew off and wiper arm Would not stay in position. Was able To get home but had to get the car towed to Tesla.
When driving in snow, the snow accumilates in front of the recessed headlights on top of the front bumper and makes night driving impossible.
The windshield wiper was replaced under recall with a faulty wiper that is actually more dangerous than the original and Tesla is known about this issue for months and haven't corrected it or stopped replacing working units with faulty ones. Please HELP with this issue before someone gets injured or killed by their negligence. I have made multiple attempts with Tesla service and tried all their contacts and am getting zero resolutions. Thanks
Took vehicle in for service they replace the wiper motor under warranty with the faulty one that is more unsafe than the previous one. And they refuse to fix it. Research shows they knew about this for months, yet continue to risk owners safety by replacing working units with faulty ones. Then have it taken or leave an attitude.
Contacted Tesla on June 25th for their June 19th recall (24V‑456 and 24V‑457) and they responded that my truck isn't (yet) on their list of recalled cars even though it's been 6 days since the voluntary recall happened. As Tesla has been the one to initiate the recall, I would have assumed my truck would instantly in the list. Appointments are booked out weeks in advance, and Tesla won't allow me to create an appointment now.
Windshield wiper failed without any warning. Doesn’t work and it’s raining
