Three problems related to windshield wiper/washer have been reported for the 1998 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When windshield wiper blades are running in rain, they start going slower/ slower and slower until they just stop. Car has been in repair shop twice for wipers, and problem still exists.
Due to design windshield wipers are not fast enough, and visibility is greatly reduced when precipitation is heavy. The consumer says the wiper problem is a safety hazard during heavy rain or storm.
While raining the right wiper deposits rain in line of sight and with wipers on fast speed under heavy rain it is impossible to see.
