problem #13

Expedition 4WD

  • miles
Wipers would just turn on without any contact with muliti-function switch. No common time, driving pattern or person found..all at the wim of the vehicle. Dealer was very reluctant to repair problem. Didn't beleive my wife the first time and never fixed it. Then after second appt they cancelled because they (Ford) didn't have a "fix" to the problem. After much much yelling they agreed to replace the multi-function swictch which was done. No re-occurrance of the problem since.
