| Component | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Upon entering and starting the truck the windshield wipers did not work at all in 4 separate cases, the 5th occurrence the drivers side wiper worked but not the passenger side. Obviously i only use the wipers in bad weather so when i need them most for safety the windshield wipers have not functioned. I have returned the truck to the dealership for repair each time and have contacted ford customer service case # 1496470901, i feel this is a huge safety issue and needs further attention as i now have no confidence at all in this vehicle. |
