If you are in a Bronco now its not in your best interest to get your undies in a bunch. Hang in there, keep calm, this too shall pass. If you are picking up an order placed long ago, you have a choice to bail out if you are one to worry. My opinion, go for it, the Bronco is a fun truck, it...
I picked mine up Feb 11. Now have 3,600 miles on it. Noticed the mild sound maybe two weeks ago, not severe by any means, I was expecting it would eventually turn up. I'll take it to the dealer for a 5k oil change, bring copies of the TSB, Part numbers and a few select posts for them to review...
I'm going to try the Rain-X Silicone Wiper blade, AdvantEdge 17" blade 830017 or Endura 830117 or the Supreme 830517 we are supposed to get a lot of rain later today, its worth a try.
My thoughts are, Ford determined with the Windshield being upright, very little slope, more like a brick, they needed the motor protection feature. Not saying it was the right decision, actually stupid, hard to believe this problem did not show in in R&D. I use Rain X as a short term short term...
Has anyone researched the Wiper Motor part number? For a new one to have been developed, the part number would have been revised. If its not changed then the motor is the same as it is from new. How can a new motor fix the problem if they are all bad?
I suppose, if there happens to be a bad...
There you go, plus any extended warranty you may have purchased. Having read every page of this thread, as far as I know there have been no reported 100% failure, or stranded owners on the road from this problem. Let your dealer know you have the problem, wait till it gets sorted out and get the...
Drive it till it breaks, I believe you'll believe you'll be the first to report Total Failure, undrivable, no forward or reverse movement, had to have it flat bedded to the dealer.
Of course they are, when turned off. It's when its a driving rain and I have them on high speed and they stop completely on their own, that's the problem.
One of Ford's better ideas, unlike back in '70's they stole Robert Kearns first intermittent wiper idea claiming it to be there own. The guy...
Not a bad idea, cannot be too expensive, but is he aware of the newer part number? Thinking out loud, if you force his hand to install a part not authorized in the TSB he may not do it, if he does and the problem is not fixed you may be left to hang out to dry on your own. I'd not push too hard...
@Ford
Really, all you need to do is print out every post made here as well as those on Bronco Nation, walk into the presidents office and have a Heart to Heart. If he wants to shun what you present then its time to step up and voice your opinion. The problem exists, picking and choosing any one...
I somehow doubt this is what you are looking for. The three speed column shift has worn bushings and levers, it does require a bit of finesse when shifting. On the plus side, it does not grind or whine and it does not have any loud noises emitting from it and the old two speed wipers, no smart...
What is happening to FORD? Most recalled manufacturer 2022, They have great product and storied history, how can they be caught so off guard? I own stock in them, this shatters my confidence a bit. Now the ongoing problems with this and windshield wipers...
At this point, IMHO, FORD would rather throw good money after bad in replacing transmissons and changing out bad parts for more bad parts thinking that will make the owner feel good. Not sure how in anyone's mind that makes sense but in the corporate world it must work out in the fuzzy math...
