NHTSA Complaint #10899675 — 2013 FORD FUSION

WINDSHIELD WIPERS. WIPERS ARE WAY TO SLOW. IN THE RAIN IT IS SUPER HARD TO SEE AND YOU HAVE NO VISIBILITY. ALL YOU COULD DO IS PULL OVER, WHICH IS MOST OF THE TIME INCONVENIENT OR HOPE THAT YOU DON'T GET IN A ACCIDENT. EVEN MODERATE RAIN IS HARD SEE. ITS A SHAME THAT OLDER CARS IS SAFER THAN A 2013 FORD FUSION. I WAS GOING DOWN A ROAD THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 IN HARD RAIN, I OBVIOUSLY WAS DOING A SLOWER SPEED LIMIT DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE RAIN AND MY VEHICLE'S SLOW WIPERS. MY VISIBILITY GOT SO BAD THAT I DECIDED THAT I HAD NO CHOICE TO TURN TO THE RIGHT ON A ROAD THAT WOULD GIVE ME ACCESS TO A SUPER WALMART. MY VISIBILITY WAS SO BAD THAT I COULD NOT TURN IN TO THE WALMART PARKING LOT BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME IN ORDER FOR ME TO CONTINUE ON THE ROAD AND MAKE A SAFE LEFT HAND TURN. I HAD TO PUT MY FLASHING LIGHTS ON AND USE MY LEFT WINDOW TO FIND MY WAY DOWN THE PATH OF THE TURNING LANE AND OUT OF THE STRAIGHT LANES. AT THIS POINT I PUT THE DEFOG BUTTON ON FOR THE WINDOW AND IT HELPED A LITTLE BIT. THE RAIN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SO I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON THE ROAD WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, IT RAINS A LOT HERE. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME DRIVING AROUND HERE. *TR
