Consumer Description
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ON 2000 FORD RANGER XLT PICKUP TRUCK BEGAN TO FAIL ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THE WIPERS WOULD WORK OCCASIONALLY AND THEN FAIL ON ME. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE / BAD AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I NOTE THAT IN 2006 FORD RANGERS HAD A RECALL ON WIPER MOTOR PROBLEMS. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM ON GOOGLE.COM AND FOUND THAT NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED FAULTY WIPER MOTORS ON FORD RANGER PICKUP TRUCKS. I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS MOTOR. VERY DANGEROUS AS SUDDEN THUNDERSTORMS AND RAIN OCCUR WHERE I LIVE - CAN BE HEAVY AT TIMES, CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *KB
