Consumer Description

SINCE MARCH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE REPEATEDLY GONE ON WHENEVER THEY FELT LIKE IT. THE SAFETY ISSUE COMES INTO PLAY WHEN YOU HAVE THEM ON REGULAR SPEED AND WANT TO HAVE THEM GO FASTER AND THEY DO NOT SOMETIMES WORK FASTER OR THEY ARE GOING FASTER AND SLOW DOWN TO REGULAR SPEED. THEY HAVE AT TIMES NOT GONE ON AT ALL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAY WERE WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT GEM MODULE. I ALSO CONTACTED FORD MOTOR AND THEY SAID THEY WERE WAITING FOR A FIX. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY LONG WAIT FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
