This brand new 2022 truck is less than a month old. Windshield wipers were turned on at normal speed (not intermittent) and the wipers froze at the vertical position. Adjusting the wipers control knob did nothing, and about 15 seconds later the wipers resumed proper function. Five minutes later, they froze again at the same position. This was very dangerous to lose visibility in a heavy rain.

I had just purchased my truck not even 30 days and the wipers went out. It was a very rainy day and the wipers just stopped. I had to pull over and get a tow truck to take me to the dealer. I was unable to see and almost hit a car parked on the side of the road because I could not see. I have talked to Ford and the dealer and they both tell me that this is an ongoing issue with no resolution. They have over 600 customers for the 2022 model year with the same issue on non working wipers . They told me it could be 2 to 8 months before they start producing wiper motors for repair. They suggest rainx until the issue is resolved??? My truck is currently parked in the dealer lot. This truck was not appart of the recall like my other truck was. Shouldnt this be part of the recall also and maybe a stop sale until they fix this?
I was driving on the interstate at 60mph when we were caught in a downpour. We were pulling a 7000lb trailer and the windshield wipers completely stopped working. Visibility was virtually zero. I was in the right lane and was able to navigate to the shoulder. I could tell I was on the shoulder due to the rumble strips. Once on the shoulder I was able to get the wipers to reset and become functional again. Every time I get caught in rain I get to the right lane in case of a failure. The vehicle is available for inspection. Our safety was put at risk. The problem has not been reproduced but an appointment is scheduled with the dealership. The vehicle has not been inspected (not sure where to take it). There were no warnings prior to the failure.
Pushed washer fluid button in. Washer fluid came out but wipers did not engage like required. Tried turning wipers on in all positions got nothing. When left in on position wipers move in half inch increments but no more than 3” from home position. Took to local repair center but they cannot get new one. I’m aware of 2021 F150 doing same thing which there is a recall. Not sure what to do. Still driving car without proper safety equipment l
Brand new truck, windshield wipers won't go on. Brought to dealer, said I need a new wiper motor. Parts on backorder with no ETA. Dealer said pickup your truck if you need it and we will call you when part arrives.
3 weeks after purchasing my truck, I tried to turn on the windshield wipers and they did not work. Later that day I tried again and they worked. Fast forward 3 more weeks and now they do not work at all for. Sometimes I can spray windshield wiper fluid but it will not wipe. Other times spraying doesn’t work neither does the wipers. Been 2 days now. Appointment next week.
