Never buy the first model year of any vehicle. And that includes new generations with the same model name. They always have the most problems the first year, so you're just paying to be a beta tester.
You would assume we have wipers down after decades without failure.
Wipers often are the only moving part still working after a car totalled.
No other wipers are this long and stupid though…
I mean, this amount of problems is still surprising for a first model year.
Never by the first model og anything really, everything is rushed to market and nothing is done properly the first time.
Not only are you likely to get the most problems, you're usually paying more for them as well.
No problems yet in 5 years with my posh Toyota.
Same, but with 10 ish. I even had a Saturn with fewer problems, and those were notorious for issues.
Low VIN cars come with low VIN problems.
Never buy the brand new model of anything. Computer, car, dishwasher, blender; they all have teething problems that are solved in later versions. Hell, in enterprise IT it's common to be several major versions back and to pay for security patches rather than keep up with the latest and greatest.
