Visibility/Wiper

Filed Nov 11, 2022OH

Because of the angle of the dash the light from it reflects on the windshield. The gauges can be dimmed but the odometer cannot. This cause a reflection in the direct line of sight. This reflection is a problem despite adjusting the seat and diming the gauges to full off. I have found a covering the entire gauge cluster with cardboard solves the problem.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
