This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Wipers would just turn on without any contact with muliti-function switch. No common time, driving pattern or person found..all at the wim of the vehicle. Dealer was very reluctant to repair problem. Didn't beleive my wife the first time and never fixed it. Then after second appt they cancelled because they (Ford) didn't have a "fix" to the problem. After much much yelling they agreed to replace the multi-function swictch which was done. No re-occurrance of the problem since.
Wipers run without being activated. When wipers are used in a rainy situation, can not stop wipers by turning switch off. When using wipers in a "delay" mode, wipers stop in the middle of a sweep.
Windshield wipers fail all the time. Consumer cannot cut them off. Manufacturer told consumer that they connot correct problem, but to go and have them disconnected. Dealer claimed that they do not know how to correct them.
The windshield wipers fail to work when needed. On dry days would come on, on wet days do not come on. Rear wiper was repaired. Now neither works, front or rear. Transmission will not shift properly. Had it checked & metal pieces had broken off. Transmission burnt out. Had the piston replaced. The power winddows would go up & down without key insertion.
Windshield wipers go on and off without driver intervention, causing distraction. Ford does not have a solution or fix. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles have the same problem with no fix.
Windshield wipers went out intemittently. Took vehicle to dealership and was told they didnt know what it was, to come back at a later time when they had more info on the problem.
