While driving in mild to hard rain on 35 MPG and 70 MPG roadways I've had the wipers stop or randomly slow where I can't see vehicles ahead of me. I have tried to manually change the setting quickly to try and engage adequate mode and h...

When driving in heavy rain/sleet and you put the wipers on High (or even Low), they automatically switch to Intermittent after about 1 minute. They actually stop wiping at a high speed and pause between wipes for several seconds. In order to keep the wipers going you have to keep switching the wipe...

Wipers go to an intermittent state while in the constant wipe positions. Both low and high speed.

The intermittent wiper feature stops. Even when I turn the wiper control to “on low speed setting” (Not intermittent or rain sensing) the wipers stop after a short time then resume as it they are on an intermittent setting. This occurs in light rain, drizzle, and heavy downpours. I can get the w...

While driving in a rain/sleet storm with my windshield wiper set to the normal (slow) speed, they suddenly stopped but then resumed in an intermittent fashion. They then continued to slow down making visibility nearly impossible. I could not see other roadway users nor signage. The only remedy at th...

My 2023 Ford Bronco has these "Advanced" wipers that automatically stop wiping when they think the windshield is dry or think the wiper motor may be damaged. When driving in heavy rain and you put the wipers on High (or even Low), they automatically switch to Intermittent after about 1 minute. They ...

Windshield wipers when set to full on, either slow or fast, will slow down on their own in moderate and heavy rain. This leads to poor visibility. The wipers sometimes stop all together. I constantly have to adjust the wiper control to another setting to get the wipers going at a usable speed.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Windshield wipers. Yes, it's available, but since it is environmentally dependent, it may be harder to capture. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Per Ford: "The vehicle is eq...

On many occasions, when we have excessive rain, the windshield wipers on the Bronco will go from the high speed settings to much lower speed. Ford says this is by design to prevent overheating of the windshield wiper motors. In my opinion, it poses a severe safety risk, as the windshield wipers yo...

The wipers will turn slow way down or turn off completely even though it is still raining very hard. You have to constantly turn them off and back on. We live in the Portland, Oregon area where it rains frequently!! This is becoming very problematic.

While driving on the highway during a rainstorm I had my wipers set to the highest setting. After about 1 minute they began to slow down on their own until they were only working intermittently. I was unable to see as soon as the wipers began to slow down. I had to toggle the wiper switch in order t...

Windshield wipers, on multiple settings will slow and then stop on their own.

When I put the windshield wipers on standard speed, they will stay there for about 60 seconds and then drop down to a very slow intermittent speed. It happens in very hard rain so I don’t believe it is the rain sensor. If I turn it to fast speed and then back down to normal. It will continue again...

Wipers will not stay in continuous setting (low) for more than 20 seconds before slowing down to extra slow for another 20 seconds, then stopping continuous and becoming intermittent.

Driving at 55 mph at early morning darkness during a heavy rain the windshield wipers come to a complete stop. Oncoming traffic headlights glaring through the rain soaked windshield provided ...

I started to notice a scraping/grinding noise that is coming from the transmission. It can be heard when I do a cold start and leave in in neutral. If I push the clutch in it goes away. Also, I noticed it a bit louder when I am in low gears such as 1-3, even while fully warmed up.

Within about three hours of buying the vehicle, while driving the ten speed automatic transmission at normal highway speeds there was a hard popping sound. The vehicle began to vibrate harshly and jerk. Upon continued driving it would stall in intersections in traffic like it was going to stop movin...

When wipers are used on higher settings during moderate rain it will maintain speed for a short period of time then automatically go to a very slow intermediate speed on its own. This caused zero visibility without warning. My understanding is they do this to protect the wiper motor and do not value...

During moderate rain the wipers were turned on and switched between the top 2 speeds. After a short period of time it automatically goes into a very slow intermittent mode causing loss of visibility. From my understanding this is part of fords “smart wiper” system to save the motor from burning ...

Specifically, after approximately 30 seconds, the windshield wipers slow to a greatly reduced and intermittent speed. This causes extreme issues with visibility, which in ...

I was driving in rain and the wipers were initially working fine. Then for no reason they just started slowing down. The rain was still heavy and the vehicle does not have rain sensing wipers so there is no reason they should have slowed down. I had to keep changing the wiper speed from high to low ...

Windshield wipers stop moving at regular wiping speed. After a short time the wipers change from regular speed to intermittent speed causing loss of vision to the road ahead during rain and snow.

In moderate or even heavy precipitation the vehicle will reduce wiper speed from high or low continuous to intermittent, severely reducing and limiting visibility. I took it to Corwin Ford in Reno to fix this and they say that it does this on purpose and it is working as designed. Picture was taken...

Windshield wipers slow down when driving in rain/snow. Even on the highest setting, they start to slow down after a few minutes and you have to toggle them off and on again to get them back to normal speed.

The screen on the radio freezes/glitches at random times. Navigation no longer updates despite still, providing audio prompts. Requires the vehicle to be parked and turned off to fix it each time. Creates major issue when navigating unfamiliar areas and suddenly needing to pull off the road.

I was driving in moderate rain today and had the windshield wipers in the low setting (continuous wipe, not intermittent). After approximately 60 seconds, the wipers stopped continuous wipe and I could not see. I switched to high, the wipers began working again so I switched back to low. 60-90 se...

Wipers automatically dramatically slow down when placed in the high setting during heavy rains causing unsafe driving conditions

Wipers run normal speed for 39 seconds and they revert back to five seconds in between wipes, no matter what the rain conditions or settings

Windshield wipers fail to maintain consistent operation. Cadence slows down on its own to an unusable speed causing unsafe visibility. Clearly there is something wrong with the programming.

Wipers will slow down during constant on operation is selected, in low and high speed mode. They wipe as normal for 30-45 seconds, then start a slow speed wipe (in high or low, both slow to a crawl) for 2-3 wipes, then stop completely until the switch is changed to another setting. Then the cycle re...

When wipers are on they will intermittently stop even when in run mode. No change in how hard the rain is coming. Causes inability to see anything. Will sometimes start back up but usually can't wait that long and chandelier to fast mode to get them moving again

Wipers have some type of smart setting and the will actually stop working in heavy rain situations. Very dangerous configuration

When wipers are on slow speed, after 17-22 sweeps will either stop, or to slow intermittant, does not matter on amount of water on the windshield. SSM FROM FORD IS NOT AN ANSWER. WIPERS SHOULD STAY ON

The wipers slowed and stopped during heavy rain making visibility very poor. I had to manually turn the wiper speeds in order to see the road.

Wipers function for about 30 seconds on continuous, then go to intermittent, then stop. Does this at all speeds and all rain settings (heavy to light rain). Constantly having to turn wiper off and on to get it to function. Makes it difficult to see in rainy weather.

After less than a minute of running, the wipers suddenly slow down to the lowest wiper delay setting. You notice because, if you're in a storm or rain, you suddenly can't see out of the windshield. It does this on all of the wiper settings. If you're in a bad storm and you have the wipers running on...

High speed wiper setting runs fast and then becomes extremely slow requiring driver to twist down and back up to reset to high. This is a safety hazard

Windshield wipers when turned on will work and after a few seconds begin to slow, then go to working intermittently and then go to swiping like once every 5-8 seconds. When I reset the wiper it will do it all over again.

So when wipers are on fast or slow constant mode that they slow down and go into a slow intermittent mode all on their own. After about 35 seconds the wipers start to slow down then after 50 seconds they stop causing a serious safety concern. This has now happened several times. I was unable to see ...

The windshield wipers will stop, and then start back up on a slower setting. It’s very alarming and dangerous when it’s pouring rain to have them suddenly stop. Ford is trying to say it’s normal but it definitely is not. There’s a glitch somewhere in the motor.

Wipers slow down or stop in moderate to heavy rain.

The wipers will slow down or stop even during heavy rain and on a constant setting (not an intermittent setting). I have to turn the switch on and off to get them to wipe continuously which is very dangerous during torrential rains.

- Place windshield wiper switch to continuous (second from fastest setting) - Continuous wipers make 25 full wipes of windshield then cut back to slower setting - I have tested and repeated this more than 10 times — it happens around 90% of the time the wipers are in continuous mode

While driving in mild rain the wipers when set on low or high speed will slow down and stop then start up after a short period of time. Visibility was severely limited, want the low and high speed to be manual control, no automation. This is not safe!

When I have the wipers set on normal speed, they will swipe about 25 times then slow to intermittent. I then have to switch to high speed setting and back to normal to get them to stay on at steady normal speed. Repeating this over and over. This is happening during a rain.
