Wiper

Not a serious issue at all, just kind of mildly annoying. Anyone else have an issue where they try to turn on windshield wipers and they only go up an inch but go up fine when yup push the lever again?

It happens but, it's not too annoying.

Yes!! I have a couple streaks on mine and thought maybe a needle got stuck in it, but no... And it's only been 4 months; isn't that a little too early to be showing wear?

You talking about the momentary wipe by pushing up? Had that happen once, but I've had that happen in lots of other cars too if you don't hold the lever long enough.

Happens in the corolla all the time when you dont press the wiper all the way through. Also in my mom's trailblazer. Dont think this issue is particular to the FRS.

I've had this happen a few times in a couple of my previous cars; It's all about how long you hold the lever.
