Wiper problem #1

The contact owns a 2023 kia Forte. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed during a rain storm, she became aware that the windshield wiper was sticking and failed to adequately clear away water from the windshield, severely reducing visibility. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 10,000.

Wiper problem #2

I’m an owner of a brand new a 2023 kia for less than one year. While driving home from work which is 8 miles drive on a Friday, while sitting at a red light I heard a crack or pop to see that my windshield had spontaneously cracked on the driver side. When I got home, I measured it to be 8 inches, starting at the frame. It’ll probably need replacing as opposed to repair. It is and always has been garage kept.

Wiper problem #3

The headlights and rain don’t mix at all I can’t see 3 feet I from it me and the wipers don’t clear the windshield fast enough they need to have led bulbs or design a new headlight.
