In owners' own words
I have driven multiple times in the rain and when using the wipers, they slow down almost to a crawl impairing visibility. It doesn't matter what setting they are on, they slow down to the point that I am unable to see. I have to manually restart the wiping process each time, but the problem persists. It happens on all settings. It gets to the point that I don't feel safe driving it sometimes. Visibility/wiper
in my 2022 ford bronco, while driving in the rain, I turned wipers on at the highest speed. However, within a short time, the wipers started slowing down and then eventually worked only interminently. I turned them off and then back on to the highest speed and this happened again. they just do not stay at the highest speed. This greatly affects the visibility while driving. Visibility/wiper
After 30-50 seconds of operation, the wiper speed reduces significantly, regardless of how much rain is falling on the windshield. This is particularly problematic during heavy rain fall. When the speed of the wipers is reduced or increased, then returned to the previous position, they maintain adequate speed for another 30-50 seconds before the speed is reduced once more.
