What's wrong, in plain English
Some Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles can have trouble with the windshield wipers and washer system in cold temperatures. The wipers may only work on their high-speed setting, and the washer fluid system may not spray properly. Both of these problems can make it harder to see clearly out of the windshield.
