The front end noise persists even after both front hubs and front seals were replaced during two seperate service calls. The wiper sensor/motor was replaced before windshield wipers started coming on without warning since the dealer told me that would happen..the dealer has been very helpful and upfront, but the front end noise still persists and it is quite annoying to have to keep going back for the same symptoms. I have heard this has been a common complaint in this area.

Wipers will come on with switch in off postion. Washers will not work when wipers are on but will slow wiper speed. Wiper speed will not change from slow to fast without jiggling the switch. Wipers will change speed when using turn signal. I am concerned they will fail completely and am aware of others with the same problem.

- Millersville, PA, USA

Windshield wipers would go on or off on by themselves. Would sometimes stop in middle of operation. Vehicle would fail to start if steering wheel is not in correct position. The signal lever will not operate properly if the wheels are slightly turned.

The windshield wipers come on without manual opreration or when the signal lights are operated.

Windshield wipers come on without turning the switch on and when you need them working they work only in low speed. They come on while driving over small bumps, or just come on intermittently. Dealer seen car in Jun-1999, 4 monts later problem stil exist.dealer can't fix the problem.

- Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Since March the windshield wipers have repeatedly gone on whenever they felt like it. The safety issue comes into play when you have them on regular speed and want to have them go faster and they do not sometimes work faster or they are going faster and slow down to regular speed. They have at times not gone on at all. We contacted the dealer and they said thay were waiting for a replacement GEM module. I also contacted Ford motor and they said they were waiting for a fix. This seems to be a very long wait for something that is a safety issue.
