Visibility/Wiper · reported Oct 28, 2026

The windshield wipers were set to auto during a torrential downpour. When they increased to a high speed of wiping, we heard a large crack and the windshield wiper had completely broke on us. We were going around 45 MPH on a highway and were 1 hour away from our destination. We had little to no visibility for the remainder of the car ride as it continued to downpour and was the most terrifying drive. We went to Dick Hannah's in Portland, OR to get it fixed. My fiance, who is an automotive engineer, told them what he believed happened; something in the arm itself has malfunctioned or misaligned…

Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 8, 2026

Approximately one week after having my oil changed at a Hyundai dealership, I began experiencing intermittent collision safety alerts and multiple dashboard warning lights. On three separate occasions when I started the vehicle, warnings appeared for the forward and rear collision systems, along with multiple other sensor warnings and engine warning lights. During one incident while driving in traffic, the forward collision warning activated and the vehicle abruptly applied the brakes. I was nearly rear-ended as a result. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership on two separate…
