Visibility/wiper
1 report
“My windshield has one huge crack and a bunch of tiny nicks in it from very low speed impacts from little road rocks or pebbles. I’ve had to fix my windshield once already from a crack. Car was bought 2 months ago, and probably going to have to replace my entire windshield in the next few months.”
Service brakes
1 report
“Brake system failure from the master cylinder was literally leaking brake fluid. I was driving on 10-1-26 and noticed warning signs flashing on and off. Took it to a service center 10-5-26 and was confirmed it was the issue. I could've been in a serious accident from a safety component failing that wasn't my fault.”
