Ok I noticed something funny on my 2012. when uesing the wipers and I'm stepping on the break I can feel the wipers at the start of the stroke its the first time I've ever felt this on any car or truck I've owned. not sure if it's normal on fords or not since this is the first ford I've ever bought. Some opinons on this would be great thanks

I think you the second to post up about this. Are you pedals all the way against the fire wall?

Try moving them out just a bit and see if it still happens.

factory wipers and it's like when the wipers move either direction you feel it in the peddle like the wiper motor is rubbing the break peddle. and I don't have adjustable peddles if I do I have no idea how to adjust them. but if it's not normal I'll take it to the dealer as soon as I get back from fallon.

A lot of the wiper feel has to do with the brake/steering shaft being connected to the buldhead(firewall, description not used anymore) that is where the wiper motor is connected and they can sometimes transfer energy to the brake pedal
