The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 15-20 MPH in light rainfall, the windshield wipers were activated and the front driver's side windshield wiper suddenly reversed, struck the cowl, and seized. Additionally, the contact stated that there was a significant amount of smoke coming from underneath the driver's side hood, reducing the visibility of the roadway.

Windshield wiper motor works and there’s windshield wiper fluid and wind water tank but when you pull the windshield wiper flu lever to disperse clean your windshield nothing comes out taking it to mechanic. He can’t find anything wrong with it fluid go somewhere when you pull the lever except for on the windshield.

There are 22 reports for faulty wipers, wipers not working, Ford refusal to issue a recall. Meanwhile, they issued a recall for pickup truck wiper recall. Obviously, it is possible Ford Fusion Titanium 2013 and other vehicles could suffer the same issue(s). The cost is hundreds of dollars and Ford says "oh well."

While driving on PA Turnpike westbound, in the rain, my windshield wipers suddenly stopped working. THANKFULLY, I was in the far left lane and able to pull off to the shoulder safely. Once rain stopped, I was able to take my car to my mechanic. Stated that my cars windshield wiper motors both failed AND melted, causing them to stop working.

Did not put car into park and was able to turn key fully back and remove the key from the off position. Car started rolling on slight incline. No issues other than rain sensor wipers not always working, so maybe an issue in column. Have not taken to dealership or mechanic yet.

Driving on highway in a thunderstorm; windshield wipers were on full out max. They did not go fast enough to clear the water from the windshield so I could see the road. After this incident, I went to Ford and told them about it. They inspected it and said the wipers worked as designed. When I told them that was inefficient and unacceptable and a safety hazard for a downpour, they told me to "pull over" if I get caught in a storm. That is unacceptable. It is not always safe to pull over. I should be able to see for at least a half second to tell if I am driving within my lane. I had to drive on the bumper of a truck to follow their lights. I had the 2018 Ford Fusion and the windshield wipers worked properly.

While driving in a light snow storm the windshield wipers stopped working. I tried to push down on the stalk to get them to work once and then tried to push it up to get to a set speed and nothing worked. About 3-5 minutes later they came on, wiped 3 times and then stopped again. This happened 3 times on my 30 minute drive. This intermittent issue could be very dangerous if the storm was worse. I was driving 45 MPH.
