Wiper control speed issues URGENT SAFETY

[HoosierMan]

I had the issue pop up on me while driving in the first real rain this past weekend in Central TN. Kinda caught me off guard since I've not heard of this issue. ('23 Base Squatch) until now.

Contact your dealer and get the wiper motor updated. There is a customer satisfaction program for this and they should have a programming module to fix it!

My wiper motor was replaced by dealer because of this a few months back but it didnt help at all. I recently took it back since the rainy season here in PA started and apparently theres a recent wiper recall for software. Unsure if this will be the fix but fingers crossed.

The Software flash fixed mine.

I never experienced the defective issue, but while in for tranny work they did the software flash on the wipers.

After 11 months of ownership running with defective/slow/crappy wipers, I took it to the dealership for the wiper flash. Wipers work as they should now and my bronco is no longer scared of getting rained on! If you are reading this and your wipers slow down after about 30 seconds of use, go to the dealer and schedule your recall appointment. Its so worth the fix.

That's good news @Grant3168 . I'm at 11 months also and the wipers are my only disappointment with my Bronco. My recall appointment is already set for early March!

You'll love it. Night and day difference. Its one of my favorite "mods" to my bronco now

I had my wiper motors flashed last week. Because I've done that it hasn't rained beyond a drizzle since.

I just got a letter from Ford today regarding this issue and to schedule an appt. to have the software updated.

I also got the letter today, but mine was reprogrammed over 2 weeks ago!

Well, it only took almost a year and half to get the wipers to work correctly in the low setting. Got the wiper motor updated last week and drove for an hour in rain today and the low speed setting actually stayed at low speed. No more of the slow down and stop to intermittent wipers.
I guess this is a win? Finally got wipers that have a low continuous setting like every other vehicle I've ever owned over the past 35 years.

I never thought I'd be envious of someone because they had functional windshield wipers.....

Ha ha ha. Well, I finally reached out to a new/different dealer in my area. Requesting support on a few topics including wipers (no reply from them yet) and that night I found this in the mail. Pretty sure this is the wiper flash.

I’ll call them again tomorrow and see if I can schedule an appointment before the end of 2024, ha ha ha! Colorado is awful these days for service availability.

Can confirm finally that my wipers are acting normally.

I'm getting the same content feeling when Ford finally fixed the issues with the Sync system in my old Ford Edge.
