problem #1

Aug 282012

Explorer XLT 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,110 miles

The windshield wipers engage and stay on for no apparent reason. Sometimes they would stop if I pulled over to shut off the car. On the first time this occurred the dealer replaced the part under the warranty. I was told due to high humidity in Florida these sensors go bad. Now it is happening again and my vehicle is just over 2 years old. I am out of warranty on the vehicle and the dealer wants me to pay for it. I feel this is a problem associated with the manufacturer not taking into consideration high humidity states. It's going to burn out the motor and obviously no one wants to drive around with their windshield wipers just randomly wiping when it is not raining. Super annoying.
