Windshield Wiper and Tailgate Issues with 2023 Grand Wagoneer Series 3

[TheWagoneer]

Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with two ongoing issues on my 2023 Grand Wagoneer Series 3. The windshield wipers squeak constantly, no matter the speed or weather, even after multiple repairs. The tailgate also has an alignment issue with uneven gaps and a metal-on-metal sound when driving over bumps, but I’ve been told it’s unadjustable. Has anyone experienced these problems? Appreciate any advice!

Have you tried switching to different wiper blades or applying a treatment to the windshield? For the tailgate, maybe a second opinion from another dealer could help.

Maybe silicone wipers could help with the squeaking. The tailgate issue sounds odd, have you checked for TSBs or dealer escalation options?
