1994 Ford Taurus Visibility & Wipers Problems

WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH IS INTERMITTENT. WIPERS WILL WORK SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES, WIPERS WILL WORK WHEN TURNED ON, THEN STOP WITHOUT WARNING. DT

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. CURRENTLY, THEY ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *AK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER FAILED DUE TO DESIGN FLAW. CONSUMER WANTS THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. *YH

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL BECAME STUCK IN ONE POSITION AND FAILED TO MOVE FROM THAT POSITION EVERY TIME WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH WAS TURNED ON. DEALERSHIP HAS YET TO EXAMINE VEHICLE FOR THIS DEFECT. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH HOOD DEFECTIVE DOUBLE LATCH BECAME UNHOOKED, CAUSING HOOD TO FLY OPEN, ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH, AND RESULTING IN $5,000 DAMAGE. CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK AS THE RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT, THE WINDSHIELD WAS TOTALLY SHATTERED. *YH

ON IMPACT REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED INTO1-3CM SIZE VERY SHARP HIGH VELOCITY FRAGMENTS WHICH COVERED ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT (FRONT AND BACK) INCLUDING BASE OF REAR-FACING INFANT SEAT (SEAT WAS REMOVED AT A TIME). THIS REPORT IS TO UNDERLINE THE DANGER FOR THE INFANTS IN REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS IN THE EVENT OF REAR-END COLISION SINCE WINDSHIELD IN STATION WAGON WILL FAIL IN NEARLY ALL CRASHES OF THIS TYPE. IT SHOULD BE REDESIGNED TO PREVENT FRAGMENTATION AND/OR REACHING PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.*AK

IN 1995, WINDOWS ON FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT DOORS STUCK WHEN ROLLING DOWN. FIXED INCORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME, UNDER WARRANTY, SO FIXED AGAIN, UNDER WARRANTY. NO CHARGE THAT I RECALL BUT CAN VERIFY IF REQUIRED. LAST YEAR, LEFT FRONT WINDOW STUCK AGAIN. STRUGGLE TO ROLL IT DOWN CAUSED SWERVING. ATTENDANT NOTICED IT DURING TEST DRIVE AFTER TUNE-UP BUT MADE NO RECOMMENDATIONS. RIGHT FRONT WINDOW OKAY BUT NOT USED BECAUSE NO PASSENGERS. IN ADDITION, THOUGH CAR SELDOM DRIVEN, WATER PUMP ALREADY REQUIRED REPLACING IN 1998. CHARGED $50 DEDUCTIBLE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. FRONT WINDOW FIXED THE THIRD TIME NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. CHARGE WAS $365.72 TO REPLACE RUN AND REGULATOR. I ARGUED WITH THE MANAGER BECAUSE ALREADY FIXED TWICE BY THEM BUT NO RECORD OF FIRST 2 FIXES. THESE PROBLEMS ARE DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE I BOUGHT ANOTHER NEW FORD WAGON AFTER DRIVING A COUNTRY SQUIRE FOR 21 YEARS. IT ONLY HAD 80,000 MILES OR SO ON IT WHEN I DONATED IT TO A CHARITY BUT GUESS THEY "JUST DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY USED TO"! WILL APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE YOU PROVIDE. HOPE I DIDN'T GET A "LEMON". COULD BE LUCKY THAT I DON'T DRIVE MUCH BECAUSE POSSIBLY MORE PROBLEMS. WE NEED TO TRUST THE SAFETY AND STABILITY OF OUR AUTOMOBILES.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT RESPOND WHEN NEEDED. MANY CLOSE CALLS DUE TO WINDSHIELD NOT BEING ABLE TO BE PROPERLY CLEANED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS WILL CAUSE WIPERS TO TURN ON. OCCURS ANY SEASON OF THE YEAR. HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW HAVE CAUSED NEAR MISSES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD. THEY ARE INTERMITTENT WIPERS. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW BECUASE I FOUND THIS SITE. I DID NOT CONTACT DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHO TO CONTACT.
