What owners say
Windshield wipers work but when they are turned off, they stop in a vertical positions in the driver's viewing area. The power steering hose cost me over $200 to be replaced because it is built into the firewall. The car had to be taken apart in order to get to the hose.
Windshield wipers park in vertical position on windshield obscuring vision. Dealer replaced wiper motor assembly, wiper switch and harness. Total $820.87 for repairs. Seems to be a common problem-many probes being driven with wipers parked on windshield. Ford issued service bulletins #9546 and#9582. Can I get reimbursed from ford for this safety related repair?
Windshield wiper motor failed, causing the wiper blades to stop in the middle of the window, thus impairing forward vision.
While driving the vehicle, windshield wipers, radio, etc, starting going on and off and a fire started under the hood on the right side. Fire believed to be electrical. Vehicle was totalled.
