Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO FUNCTION ON ANY SETTING. THERE IS OFTEN A NOISE HEARD FROM UNDER THE I.P. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO @ APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES. THE WASHERS ALSO DO NOT FUNCTION. ADDITIONAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH FORD MOTOR REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT ARE BRAKE SHUDDER CAUSED BY WARPED ROTORS & A LEAKING RACK & PINION STEERING GEAR. THE INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *AK
