Rain sensing wiper issues
IDK if this is a common issue or I'm the lucky one. Brand new truck and the rain sensing wipers haven't worked right from the start. I can drive for 5 mins or more in a good rain shower before they come on. Sometimes it will be less but they have yet to work like they should. That's on the highest sensitivity.

Well this isn't very encouraging. Guy I work with has an F150 and he said his work great and I would think it's the same system. I could deal with a few quirks but to basically having nothing sucks especially since I ordered that option. Smh

MIne work like they are supposed to. My only complaint is that I forget to turn them off before I go through the carwash.

The auto high beams rapid cycle, my eyes can barely adjust in between cycles. Its even better when the auto wipers and auto high beams are in sync. Drives me insane both are disabled now.

Mine work okay. they are not perfect but far from terrible. They do seem to go on more than i would choose if I were in control. Having a clean windshield and something on it like rainx does seem to help. It does do the hyper wipe more than i would ever use it. But is has not been annoying enough for me to consider disabling the rain sensing, I also leave it on the least sensitive setting most of the time.
