Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Vehicle in motion on highway during winter weather. Windshield fluid nozzles froze. When attempting to clean the windshield with the windshield fluid, the wipers come on automatically for three sweeps. Because there was no available fluid, the wipers smeared the snow, dirt, and salt on the windshield, resulting in zero vision. Before attempting to clean the windshield, i had some visibility. After attempting to clean the windshield, i had no visibility. This "convenience feature" of automated wiper swipes is therefore dangerous and should be banned. |
