Hoses for washer fluid to the sprayers for the windshield come disconnected at the tee and 90 fittings preventing you from cleaning the windshield while driving. It happened once and I pushed them back in and they have come apart again. Problem has not been verified by dealer or another mechanic shop, nor inspected by either, or anyone else. No warning lights or messages appear, the sprayers just sputter and then nothing when it worked just fine the previous time.

Is 116 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2020 and 2026, roughly 19 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
