Driving 25 mph on a residential concrete road lost vision through windshield. A sudden storm caused leaves to block sewer grates from draining water. When going through 6-8-?? at curb side. I started turning wipers to high and I didn-??t see improvement quickly. I slowed down to 20 mph for the following one and same thing again total loss of visibility. Thinking about it I-??ve driven through the same amount of rain sitting on this same road with many different automobiles-?? And never experienced this kind of loss of visibility, especially at this slow of speed. Help us before someone gets hurt or killed.

While wipers are in full-time mode, they will occasionally switch to intermittent mode even though rain continues to accumulate on the windshield. This forces me to take my left hand off the steering wheel to 'reset' the wiper system while driving with limited windshield visibility. Taking my hand off the wheel during a downpour is unsafe and should be the last thing I need to be concerned about. My vehicle is available for inspection. Dealership replicated the fault on similar Broncos and said it was 'normal operations'. They claim that the wipers go into intermittent mode so the wipers motor doesn't overheat. However, there is plenty of rain on the windshield when I've experienced the transition to intermittent mode. No warning lamps, messages lit up during this failure. I have a video available that documents this issue.

The wiper system when turned to the standard or fast wiping position during any rainfall condition will slowing reduce its speed in less than a minute to the slowest speed for both positions and stay at that speed regardless of rainfall conditions. Even in normal rainfall conditions this has caused serious responses because of the delay with wiper returning to clear water from window. Whether your coming to a stop behind someone or passing on a turnpike with semi's or even following in heavy traffic. I have been able to work around with a switch back and forth from standard to fast or fast to standard to keep the wipers moving however the same issue arises. Today is my first scheduled oil change and tire rotation, which is when I asked about the wipers. The service person had not been aware of the wiper issue. He looked it up and is told by Ford that there is no problem. No warning lights or messages.

When driving in heavy rain and you put the wipers on High (or even Low), they automatically switch to Intermittent after about 1 minute. They actually stop wiping at a high speed and pause between wipes for several seconds. In order to keep the wipers going in heavy, blinding rain you have to keep switching the wipers from Low to High to keep them moving. This is a safety hazard since you honestly cannot see though the windshield during heavy rain. Our Bronco is currently at the dealership being serviced. We were blinded in the rain storm traveling on the interstate. This is a very serious issue that needs to be resolved before someone is killed!!

Wipers do not maintain constant speed. They slow down in dangerous situations when I need them to wipe continuously. They skip and slower speeds Had happened every time it rains

- Sulphur Springs, TX, USA

During wiper operation in the low speed setting, after approximately 40-50 seconds of operation the wipers sometimes reduce in speed to a slow intermittent setting and stay that way until the wiper is turned to a new setting. This happens even in heavy rain, which can result in a significant safety hazard.

Windshield easily chips and cracks. Vehicle has only 4500 miles and two chips without cracking and one chip with cracking. None happened at highway speeds and seemed to be small objects.

When wipers are turned on full in heavy rain they slow down and come to a stop. I have to constantly adjust wiper speed to keep them active.

I do not have auto wipers or rain sensing wipers. I-??ve now driven through two major rain storms and sleet all three instances required the windshield wipers to be placed into constant on speed of medium and high. The issue results after the wipers are running in these constant on positions for a short while. The issue: The wiper blade speed while in demand of constant on medium and high speed will randomly reduce speed to intermittent making a massive safety hazard when at higher speeds and visibility is poor do to high rain, sleet, and snow volume. To get the wipers to operate at the intended speed the driver must rotate the speed control to a slower speed and back up to the required speed to handle the weather situation. This has to be done frequently and is a major hazard. Many people are reporting this same wiper issue on Bronco Forums such as Bronco Nation and Bronco6G.

On numerous occaisions while driving in the rain, my wiper speed suddenly starts to drastically slow down/wipe intermittently, even though my vehicle speed or the amount of rainfall has not changed. This drastically reduced my visibility. If I change the wiper setting, the wipers function normally for a short time but will start to suddenly slow down again. This happens on any of the various higher wiper speed settings. I am entering a date of today, because it happened today, but it has happened before.

When driving in the rain with the wipers set on the low or high constant setting, the wipers will intermittently slow down or stop all together. When this issue occurs I have to cycle the wipers off then back on and the issue often repeats itself and leads to periods of zero visibility during cycling off on to correct issue. This is a serious safety concern that my dealer said is "normal" "that's how the rain sensing wiper system works". This cannot be right, I have never experienced a vehicle where the wipers slow down or stop whenever they want.

- Warrenton, VA, USA

have a wiper control issue where at fast speeds the wipers start to slow down and go intermittent. It almost impossible to see at times. You have to play around with it to keep them going. So if it is raining small or hard all of a sudden they stop working and go intermittently and some times stop completely. This happens a lot when raining and I have told the dealer about it a few times and showed them as well from video.

Windshield wipers slow down and stop when used in continuous mode

- Grove City, PA, USA

Ford has installed a "Smart Windshield" function on 2021-23 Broncos. It is intended to protect the wipers from overheating. The issue is that it does not work. Every time I use my wipers in low or high mode after about :30 seconds they reduce speed. When driving on the highway in the rain this is extremely dangerous and the driver has to keep switching modes over and over to get the wipers to work. I have had the vehicle into the dealer twice and they agree that this is an issue but can not do anything as it is a "normal" function.

When wipers are set to continuous operation, they slow down and start going intermittently. This is making it hazardous driving in rain and snow.

- Nesconset, NY, USA

When wipers are turned on they work for a minute and then change to intermittently working regardless of how much rain. If you flip it to max wiper speed to keep the window clean it does the same thing. There is no setting you can put it on and the wipers continually work. Makes it very hard to see or you are always flipping the switch just to keep them working.

With the windshield wipers on in the continuous low setting, the wipers will slow down and stop after a minute or two of operation. This has happened more than once while driving in the rain. The wipers were not obstructed, no snow/ice (40 to 50 degrees outside) and it was raining, so the windshield was not dry. This stopping of the wipers caused me to remove one hand from the steering wheel, and fiddle with the wiper controls to get the wipers to start back up, while the rain outside was obscuring my vision. I switched the wipers off and back to the continuous setting, and the same thing happened after a few more minutes, the wipers slowed down and stopped. The wipers were never on the intermittent setting, always on continuous setting. I don't find it safe to be driving in the rain with these wipers, since I do need both hands on the wheel, incase there is a pooling of water on the road, which can pull the vehicle to one side and I need both hands to correct, as well as loss of visibility when the windshield fills with rain when the wipers stop.

Windshield wipers stop working while driving in both heavy rain and light rain. When turned on low, or high, not intermittent, the wipers slow down, and sometimes stop altogether. I was driving in heavy rain on the highway and the were on high. Repeatedly they kept slowing down, and then stopping. I had to turn them off, and back on each time, to get them to work on high again. This happened 6- 7 times. Not only was it very scary to lose visibilty completely, but also distracting to have to adjust them over and over. I was terrified I would get in an accident. I finally pulled off the highway. The same happened in light rain. I did get video of that incident. This has occurred 8 times in the last month, and one time 2 months ago. The problem seems to be getting worse and now occurs everytime I drive it in the rain. I did let my dealer know today. They had heard nothing about it. I will be taking it in to get looked at in 3 days. Brondes Ford Toledo. Unsure if it will be able to be duplicated without driving in the rain. But I do have video from driving in light rain. Unfortunately I was unable to take video on the highway and a few other times. There are no warning lights or information showing me there is a problem. I felt very unsafe driving the vehicle. This is a hazard. This application will not let me upload the video.

I turn my wipers onto the constant wipe setting, either high or low, and after about 20-30 or so wipes, they will decrease their speed across the windshield over about 5 or 10 wipes until they pause for about 3 or 4 seconds after each wipe and then continue a slow wipe. I will turn them off and on immediately after this happens. When I turn them back on to high, they will operate on high and again repeat the slowing down speed and frequency after about 20-30 wipes until they are very slow and pause for about 4 seconds which is slower than even the slowest intermittent wipe settings. This happened during a recent ice storm during a long drive making it difficult to keep the window clear causing a hazardous condition. It happened again just testing in my garage. I reported this to Ford who said they do not have a fix for it.
