Consumer Description

THE WIPERS COMPLETELY FAIL IN HEAVY RAIN, BUT WHEN THEY DO WORK, THEY SWIPE ONCE OR TWICE AND THEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD WEBSITE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE. REPAIRS TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM ARE TOO COSTLY FOR ME TO UNDERTAKE, AS THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL MUST BE PULLED OUT TO CORRECT PROBLEM, A PROBLEM THAT FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. PLEASE HELP. I WOULD HATE TO THINK THAT ONE OF MY THREE CHILDREN WOULD BE HURT AS A RESULT OF THIS DEVICE MALFUNCTIONING WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THEM IN THE CAR AND IT HAPPENS TO RAIN, SNOW, ETC...
