NHTSA Complaint #10653678 — 2015 HONDA ACCORD

AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF OUR NEW HONDA ACCORD WE WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT BEGAN RAINING. IT WAS A STEADY TO HARD RAIN AND AS THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER WOULD BRING THE WATER OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THE WATER WOULD BUILD UP AGAINST THE LEFT SIDE MOLDING AND BECOME TRAPPED THERE THEN IT WOULD GET PULLED BACK WITH THE WIPER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING MY VISION TO MY LEFT. IT WOULD POOL ON THE LEFT SIDE BETWEEN THE MOLDING AND THE WIPER THEN COME BACK WITH THE WIPER BLADE AS IT RETURNED OBSCURING MY VISION. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT GIVES THE WATER NO WHERE TO EXIT OR DRAIN SO IT IS PULLED OR BLOWN BACK ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AS THE WIPER COMES BACK TO THE RIGHT. THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THIS DURING A LIGHT RAIN. *TR
