Windshield wipers have self-actuated over 100 times while driving. I have taken the car back to dealer (galeana) seven (7) times and they cannot fix the problem. I consider this a safety problem because there is some kind of "short circuit" in the electrical system that could cause a fire and we may be trapped in the car. It is startling to the driver to have the wipers come on suddenly while you are driving at highway speeds and could cause the driver to lose control of the car.
