CONTROLS ON THE SMART STEERING WHEEL FAIL TO WORK. INITIALLY ONLY NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH WAS AN ANNOYANCE. RECENTLY LEARNED THE FAILURE IMPACTS ALL FUNCTIONS ON THE SMART WHEEL INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND HORNS. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW FOR MORE THAN 100 MILES WITH NO WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
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.
