2000 Ford Windstar wipers, windshield & visibility problems

Recall of wiper moter cover. Van was sitting in my driveway and started smoking, disconnected battery and found that the wiper motor shorted out. Wiper motor was replaced by recall, with further investigation wiper motor cover was not properly installed, took van back to ford dealer, they told me they would not replace it out of warranty. Ford wanted over $500.00 to replace it, so I replaced it my self for under a $100.00.

While driving during rainy weather, the windshield wipers failed. The vehicle was recalled in august 2001. Recall# 01v261000. A few months later while driving in the rain, the wipers quit. The vehicle was still under warranty. The wipers failed again during a thunderstorm while traveling on the highway. The consumer contacted ford and again they refused to fix them.
