Consumer Description

When driving in rain & snow (both heavy and light), the wipers slow down on their own while I was driving on the freeway from full wiping speed to intermittent wiping once every 5-7 seconds. I kept having to toggle from fast to slow to fast again just to see. It scared me so much the first time it happened. Thank goodness I have only experienced this weather during the daytime. The temperatures were near, or below freezing, which should've helped keep the motors cool. The windshield was not dry, at all. There was little to no debris or sleet build-up on the windshield or blades, impeding the blades. Other Bronco owners that have reported it to Ford were told "this is normal" per multiple online reviews. How can impeded vision due to erratic wiper blades be normal??!! There were no warning lamps or messages indicating why it is happening. It just happens.
