I don't know what type of stealth machines you people have been driving, but this is completely normal to me.

And how would you even hear this while driving at a decent speed?

Just wondering if anyone has come across a situation where the wiper motor makes an excessive amount of noise. I turn on the wipers and all is good for a few minutes and then the darn motor continuously makes a low pitched “groan” that becomes louder the longer they are turned on. The wife says I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill but it drives me nuts. I will definately bring it to the attention of the service department the next time I take it in but just wondering if this is happening on other units or is my wife right? Am I making too much of this? Had my TRD Sport Plus now for about 2 months and this is my only issue. Love the truck.

I have the same issue. Starts of somewhat quiet, but after several or so wipes it continues to get louder. It is annoying. I just go mine a 3 weeks ago. Next service I will bring it up

I haven't seen any wiper motor noise complaints for a while. Just wondering if the newer builds are quieter? I think today was the first time my wife drove with me in the rain. She thought the wiper motor noise was playing on the radio speakers..seriously. Now I think it's louder than when I bought the truck in April.

I totally agree! Mine is definitely louder than in April shen I got mine as well. I actually forgot to bring it to the attention of the service department when the truck was in for the first service but I surely will next time. I realize some may think this is a minor item but to some of us it is not.

I completely agree with you. We don't get much rain here in South Texas but when we did, it's the first thing i noticed. The wiper motor is soo annoyinglee sounding. I saw the video and that is exactly like what mine sounds. Very disappointed with the low quality control the 2024 had.

Haven't had to use mine in a while, but now that you bring it up, I remember thinking how loud it was.

mine doesn't sound whiny like yours, but in really really cold weather it makes a louder than normal sound for like a few wipe cycles when started and then disappears a min or two later.

Just an update. Several service people at my dealership had a look and listen at my wiper motor issue yesterday. The concensus from all involved was “ it’s normal”-granted it was agreed it was definitely louder than previous gens. Dollars to donuts the noise will lessen substantially as this gen gets more refined. We shall see!

What about when there's moisture on the windshield. Is it still noisy?
