The contact owns a 2006 Ford Explorer eddie bauer. While driving approximately 10-60 mph, the vehicle began to jerk abnormally. The vehicle would also overheat sporadically and the rear windshield wipers would not operate. The vehicle was taken to a local transmission specialist where they rebuilt the transmission and attempted to repair the rear windshield wipers but to no avail. The failure persisted and the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for the failures. The dealer made repairs to the cooling system but was unable to disable the rear windshield wipers to make repairs. The failure mileage was 100,000. Updated 04/25/11 updated 1/13/2012

I own a 2006 Ford Explorer eddie bauer model. Six months after purchase, the rear wiper blade stopped working. I called the dealer which I purchased it from and they told me it is not covered and a new motor would cost $300 plus labor. I feel this is a safety issue because with the heavy snows and rain in my area, a malfunctioning rear wiper could cause an accident. I know of 4 other people with the same problem with the same vehicle. I called Ford headquarters to file a complaint and they said there was nothing they can do. Please look into this problem and I am sure I am not the only person complaining of this issue.
