Consumer Description
ABOUT HALF THE TIME, WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED ON, THEY WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THEM TURNING ON SUDDENLY AS I DRIVE. THEY STAY ON WHEN I TURN THEM ON. THE HEADLIGHTS STAY ON AS WELL. EVEN WHEN TURNING LIGHTS OFF, THE WIPERS REMAIN. THIS CAUSES THEM TO BE ON WHILE IT'S DRY RESULTING IN A DRAGGING WIPE AND NOISE. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE A MINOR SMUDGE. I'VE HAD THE CAR SINCE JUNE 2016 AND THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. TO TURN THEM ON CAUSES HESITATION AS THEY MAY NOT TURN OFF ANY TIME SOON. I'VE RESTARTED THE CAR A FEW TIMES AND MY EXPERIENCE IS TO WAIT IT OUT AFTER A COUPLE DAYS. A BRIEF LOOK ONLINE SHOWS VARIOUS FORD CARS AND TRUCKS HAVE THIS ISSUE.
