Consumer Description
First time driving the vehicle in the rain at 55mph the wiper motor was turned on to high continuous during heavy down pour. After about 30 seconds the wipers just quit and started wiping on the lowest intermittent setting. Rain was hard enough I couldn’t see the road lines without the wipers and ran off the road. Had to greatly slow down 30mph to see clear enough to move forward while having other cars pass me and about cause another accident. I was able to find a spot to pull off the road and wait on the rain to stop. Called the dealer and they looked at it and said it was the rain sensing wipers and everything was working like it should. Broncos do not come with rain sensing wipers at all. Got a video of the issue and sent it to the dealer and they said same thing again. They don’t know what the problem is or how to fix it and that the wipers are working as is. This problem happens every time it rains and every time the wipers are put into either high or low continuous mode at 55mph. I have videos and service records I can provide if needed.
