The wipers gradually slowed, became sluggish, and eventually stopped working during normal use.  Available repair information and owner reports indicate the likely cause is corrosion and seizure of the wiper pivot shafts and linkage, which overloads the motor and leads to failure.  Safety Hazard  Loss of wiper function in rain or poor weather severely reduces visibility and creates a serious crash risk, leaving drivers unable to operate safely.  Evidence of a Broader Pattern  This issue appears widespread. Many Ford owners report similar symptoms, including slowing wipers, increased resistance, seized pivots, and complete failure requiring linkage replacement.  Technicians commonly identify seized pivot shafts as the cause. Ford has issued recalls on other models for wiper-related defects, recognizing the safety risk of sudden failure.  Request for Investigation  Because two separate vehicles experienced the same failure, I request that NHTSA investigate whether corrosion-related seizure of wiper components in 2017\u20132018 Ford Expedition and Super Duty vehicles is a broader safety defect.  If confirmed, I request an appropriate remedy, such as a recall or extended warranty. I can provide supporting documentation if needed.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EXPEDITION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
