While driving in pouring rain the wipers quit working. They quit abruptly while on left of windshield and on full power. Could not see to drive on 4 lane divided highway. Was able to slowly drive to a wide berm and stop. Turned wipers off and on , they would not work. Had to wait on roadside for rain to pass.

For the past 12 months starting in july 2017, i've had to bring it back 5 times (last week was #5) to the dealer due to flooding inside the front passenger side. Twice i was told it was the body joint seal (bulletin pi1090a), twice i was told my sunroof drains were clogged and once was because the mechanic didn't align my sunroof back correctly.
