Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report
- Wipers switched from intermittent to high speed on their own during rain and would not shut off or return to normal operation.
- Rain-sensing wiper function stopped working entirely, forcing owners to operate wipers manually.
- Windshields fogged up while driving because the defrost/defog airflow was weak or intermittent, reducing visibility.
- The AC blower ran but produced no cold air or airflow intermittently, leaving windows unable to clear fog.
- Owners reported the windshield showed extreme visual distortion when sunlight hit it, and Ford declined to replace the glass.
- A driver-side sun visor was loose in its mount and felt like it could fall out.
