timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 4m 22d Gender: Male Posted 14/11/11 06:33 AM Share Posted 14/11/11 06:33 AM Yep...my first "hiccup" with the car.I noticed yesterday(Sunday) that the wipers were struggling to wipe my windscreen.I went to my dealership today to find out about the problem and they said they have to replace the wiper motor!Whoever supplies the wiper motors to Ford needs a good talking to.Just the other day I was singing the praises of the car to friends and now this rather stupid and embarassing fault happens!Anyway,it will be replaced tomorrow.

I think they source all of their parts from the absolute cheapest supplier. I know for a fact that they pay less than $2 each for the BA BF FG front speakers in the so called premo sound so the wiper motors are probably less than $10, main thing is that they replace it for you and away you go.

Ford said they have had a few of these already...
