I have 2011 Mercury Mariner and it has a rattling noise when I turn on my rear windshield wiper blade. The dealership is telling me this is normal but it doesn't sound normal to me. Any issues with this?

Hi Cooper, I'm Glad to help!

If you have an issue only when you turn on the rear wipers then here's what you need to do? If I were in your shoes, I'd pull the liftgate panel off and see if the bolts that hold the wiper motor is loose, if they are tighten them and see if the noise is gone. Also, see if the noise is gone with the panel removed. If the system will let you, maybe you can turn the wipers on with the panel off and see where the noise is coming from. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Cooper.

SOURCE: 1997 Saturn SL wipers wont stop

well the good thing is you know the wipers work !! , I would start by seeing if the washer squirters work when using the Wiper lever . and I would also see if it worked on fast speed and slow speeds . If it does you may have a wiper switch that has gone bad ! ,

Is it normal for both front and rear struts and bushes to fail on an FG 2011 model with 44,000 kms? I'm the second owner and have never thrashed the car. The previous owners were elderly country folk

Struts are relatively expensive to replace. they are not for the average DIY. Go get second opinion and then third. Get prices. Do not tell second and third shop that you have taken it to other shop. I don't know how old the vehicle is so I don't know the value. If you sell it the buyer may want the struts replaced or deduct price from car. Your call. Struts, tires., battery, belts, filters, light bulbs, wiper blades wear out need replacing.
