I noticed this problem myself with 2 ford motor co vehicles I own and one my father owns. The 2001 excursion I own is being recalled for the same problem - the intermittent wiper motor function either shuts the wiper blade action down or the blades do not park. The other vehicles affected are the one described in this report (1992 mercury grand marquis), a 1990 lincon mkvii, and a 1995 lincoln town car.
