Visibility & Wipers Problems
36,872 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints across all covered vehicles in our database. Below are the vehicles with the most reports in this category. Complaint counts are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and may not indicate confirmed defects.
This group counts stored reports whose component label starts with one of this site's matching prefixes, ignoring case. Each matching report counts once within the group. Components mentioned later in the label or only in the narrative are not searched. How component counts work
Key Takeaways
- The total covers matching stored reports across the database; the table shows up to 30 published vehicle-year pages, not the entire dataset.
- The current leaderboard spans 9 makes and 15 models, so it works best as a browsing and comparison surface, not a defect verdict.
- The highest-volume tracked page right now is 2004 Ford F-150 with 824 complaints in this category.
- A high complaint count can reflect sales volume, age, or reporting behavior. Use the linked vehicle and recall pages to understand context before drawing conclusions.
What This Category Means
This page groups NHTSA owner complaints by matching prefixes at the start of the stored component label. Vehicles are ranked by matching report count, not by every mention of visibility & wipers in a report. These counts are browsing signals - a high number reflects reports, not a confirmed failure rate or a count of distinct owners. Click any vehicle to view its full complaint breakdown by component.
