Windshield wipers chatter across window when it's raining. The chatter gets so bad that they skip across the window not clearing the window completely hitting the post on the left side. Then when they are in an upright position they will stop and make a loud scrapping sound.

Bounce back window feature can not be disabled. Every time my wife opens the side window, the window will not close. The window goes to the top and comes back down by itself.

In heavy rain, the high speed of the wipers is way too slow... Making it unsafe to see even when prudence of slowing down and/or possibly considering pulling over. One cannot see safely enough to seek a pull over spot during the immediacy of the situation..

Wiper spray nozzles do not spray on the windshield very well making it difficult to clear a dirty windshield. The wiper arms block the left and right sprayers and only get a small amount of fluid on the windshield. After the wipers leave the home position and stay slightly elevated on the windshield the center sprayer can no longer spray past it to cover the windshield either.
