2022 Subaru Legacy: visibility and wiper issues lead the complaints

Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA. Visibility/Wiper is by far the most reported area at 52%, well ahead of the electrical system (10%). No fires, injuries, or deaths are reported across any area. The two vehicle speed control complaints are the only ones tied to crashes (2 in all), so that area is worth a close look on a test drive.
