While driving on the highway to work on january 29, 2016 I turned on my wipers to clean the windshield after I turned the wipers off they stopped in the middle of the windshield, effecting my vision while driving. Once off, they will intermittently turn themselves on and off for a period sometimes stopping in the field of vision.

Wipers quit working in middle of windshield. Attempt to speed up delay and will not slow down. If operator tries to slow the delay speed down speed will not decrease. Transmission slams after highway travel and locks up drive tire at times.

I was traveling 45 MPH on a dry, 2 lane, macadam road no shoulders when my power steering went out. "advance trac" light on, chimes & message: "no power assist". I drove with no power steering for 5 miles,10 MPH to a safe place to park. Car off for over an hour, started & had power steering. Slowly drove 33 mile home. Ford dealer next day: no definite codes, power steering now working, could need a pscm, they called ford engineers hot line. We were told it could be a fluke, never happen again; best to drive car in with power steering not working. Repair cost $1500. We did not repair, knowing others had this problem even after repairs. Didn't drive car except for short, low-speed trips. 5/1/15, needed to drive the turnpike 65-70 MPH & reached destination with power steering, but 7 hrs later, we started the car, "no power assist", no power steering. I called the dealership to have it towed - told them I wouldn't drive without power steering on the turnpike. They said to let it rest a bit - we did, 20 min, and it worked. Drove home; did not drive again until I took it to the dealership and told them they could have it until it did it to them. Which it did eventually. Dealership notes from 1st service: "cau ids tested fault codes u0100-20 c1963 -20 ABS lost communication with". Notes from 2nd service: "cor PCM c1277-20 c200d rotation angle sensor circuit malfunction fault traced and replaced power steering control module steering gear assembly program and verified repairs." I had informed service of the recall pending, and they assured me, we would be reimbursed if recall does happen. No problem with power steering since 5/12/15 (repair date) however, the windshield wipers quit working 5/18/15 and did not go on until next day. I wonder if this is another 'glitch' & fear for what will glitch out next. If I could, I wouldn't drive this car, even though it had the repair.

Every time I drive in pouring rain, it is very hard to see and have to slow way down. The wipers are not fast enough to keep the rain off windshield on this 2011 ford fusion. This is a safety issue and should be corrected by ford. (I had a buick before this car and it had a fast wiper speed). I believe this windshield motor should be recalled and replaced with a faster motor. Looks like I will be buying a buick next time.

This happened sometime back, however it could be related to your current investigations. When I had approx 1900 miles on the car and while I was going around 70 MPH, the car went into limp mode and I lost all throttle control. After nearly getting hit from behind from a truck (cause I lost speed), I managed to pull over to safety and saw I had no throttle response. I turned off the car, and then turned it back on to find it out it wouldn't start. So I turned it off once again, waited 20 or so seconds, and turned the car back on and proceeded to work. Later on that night, I pulled the codes off the system and kept them as pictures (p2104 and p2112) just in case the codes cleared (cold cycle). Sure enough I go to the dealer the next day, no codes found and there is nothing they (ford) can do. I showed them the pictures, however I was still turned away. Later on at around 7500 miles, this happened again and this time I was close enough to the dealer to run the codes. They performed tsb 11-4-23 on the engine throttle body and ecu, and installed a new wiring harness. Little did I know at the time, but this states that under rare conditions the engine will emit those codes while the wipers are on.
