Video aside, I assure you, when it happens in a heavy downpour to mine, there's no issue of perception, its virtually zero visibility. I can barely see the front of the hood. at highway speeds, in traffic. It can be scary as hell.
Yep. Been there. Done that. It’s zero fun not being able to see and having to fiddle with a switch when you should be focused on the road and traffic around you. These are the dumbest smart wipers I’ve ever seen!
Sending a private message doesn't do any good. I sent a message and was given a case number and told I would hear from a "customer service specialist on the escalated suv support team" I have not been contacted by anyone.
My 2023 Badlands behaves exactly like this. Build week was 5 December 2022.
Are the replacement motors definitely not the same as the assembly line motor?
The wiper motor for the Bronco has never been updated or replaced. This will not solve any issue. It may temporarily, but it’ll eventually do the same thing.
many times the assembly line part will be different than the OTC part. Some times from different suppliers.
That’s not accurate at all. The wiper motor that it was built with, is the same as the service part sold over the counter at any Ford dealer currently. The share the exact same engineering and service part number.
Wrong.
I have been running (+ restoring) Fords my entire adult life (40+ years).
Anytime a part changes suppliers or anything else, the part number is changed.
