What owners wrote
My windshield wiper defroster started to crackle and smoke. I turned it off and back on and it started to do it again.
Driver side sun visor defective - it does not stay in up position, drops down suddenly & blocking the visibility of the road; dealer said it is a common issue but not enough complains for a recall. This is an accident prone issue that will cut off the driver's visibility suddenly.
