DEALER CLAIMED THE SWITCH WAS OK NEXT TWO TIMES I ASKED FOR IT TO BE FIXED. SWITCH CAN BE MADE TO WORK BY SWITCHING TO HIGH BEAMS (WIPER CONTROL IS ON SAME STALK). AFTER YOU SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS THE SWITCH MAY WORK FOR HOURS, MINUTES, DAYS OR SECONDS. IT CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IN TRAFFIC. FORD KNOW THESE SWITCHES ARE DEFECTIVE AND HAS DONE NOTHING.

#701265December 10, 1998
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE AND PRIMARILY IN THE CENTER VISION AREA OF THE WIPER AREA. THE WIPER BLADES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE DEALER JUST REPLACES THE BLADES. IT APPEARS THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE WINDSHIELD IS PREVENTING THE BLADE ASSEMBLY FROM BEING ABLE TO MAKE FULL CONTACT ON THE WINDSHIELD EITHER DO TO THE SHAPE OF THE GLASS OR THE WIPER MECHANISM IS INSUFFICENT TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY PRESSURE THROUGHOUT WIPERS RANGE. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER 45 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN RAINY OR SNOWY CONDITIONS. *MJS
