Ranger 4WD 6-cyl

  • 57,500 miles
Windshield wiper motor on 2000 Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck began to fail about 1 year after I bought the truck. The wipers would work occasionally and then fail on me. Took it to Ford dealership and they diagnosed problem as the windshield wiper motor is defective / bad and will need to be replaced. I note that in 2006 Ford Ranger had a recall on wiper motor problems. I googled this problem on google.com and found that numerous consumers have experienced faulty wiper motors on Ford Ranger pickup trucks. I believe it is a defect in the manufacturing of this motor. Very dangerous as sudden thunderstorms and rain occur where I live - can be heavy at times, causing complete loss of visibility when driving and could cause an accident.
