2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Wipers & Visibility Problems

Your car's right rear passenger window suddenly shattered and exploded while driving on the highway without any warning, impact, or temperature difference. Pieces of glass fell into a child safety seat in the back. This happened without any prior signs like unusual noises or flexing, and no other vehicles were involved.

While driving in light to moderate snow with your wipers on Low, they repeatedly stopped working for brief periods before resuming on their own. During these stops, snow built up on your windshield and blocked your view, creating a safety hazard for you and other drivers. Your dashboard showed no warning lights or alerts before, during, or after this happened, which is concerning because you won't know if it happens again. The wipers may need a motor replacement, electrical connection repair, or control module inspection to diagnose why they're intermittently stopping.

Your windshield washer fluid is only spraying 2-3 inches instead of reaching the full windshield, making it difficult to clean your glass and creating a visibility hazard while driving. The dealer confirmed this is a known issue but said they cannot adjust the sprayers and found no defect in the system. The problem may require replacement or adjustment of the windshield washer nozzles or the washer pump system.
