Windshield wipers turn on randomly and will not stay on when switch is on, also sprays washer fluid on windshield randomly and wipers do not work making it a very dangerous driving hazard.
The rear defrost cable detached from my windshield causing me not to be able to defrost the rear window. This is a huge issue as I live in a cold weather area and I cannot keep the back window clear. I have seen a few complaints like this on Ford forums.
During an evening rain storm I experienced that my visibility of the road was impaired due to where my wipers stopped on the windshield. The passenger side wiper stops directly in the drivers field of view before returning to its parked position. The rainwater, wiper blade, and skid residue from the wiper, create a visually blurred area on the windshield causing an unclear view of the road for a few seconds. I have discovered this condition is uncommon on other makes of vehicles. Typically, passenger side wiper blades stop several degrees short of the position described. This condition can be corrected by modifying the degree of travel permitted by the wiper. From my inquiries to the Ford motor company and several Ford service departments no current method of adjustment is available nor are there any concerns regarding this issue. I believe a test study will reveal there is a potential hazard to obstructed view of the road due to incorrect wiper travel.
