Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING ON REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONSUMER HEARS A HUMMING SOUND. THEN THEY VIBRATE, AND HANG DOWN TOWARDS THE LICENSE PLATE. ALSO, CAN'T OPEN REAR DOOR WITH THE KEY, HAS TO USE POWER LOCK TO OPEN DOOR. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE SHE CAN'T SEE OUT OF REAR WINDOW. *AK
