WIPERS RUN WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. WHEN WIPERS ARE USED IN A RAINY SITUATION, CAN NOT STOP WIPERS BY TURNING SWITCH OFF. WHEN USING WIPERS IN A "DELAY" MODE, WIPERS STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A SWEEP.

MY EXPEDITION HAS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS: THEY TURN ON WHENEVER THEY WANT, THEY DO NOT TURN ON ON DEMAND AND OCCASIONALLY THE WASHER FLUID PUMP BEGINS TO PUMP FLUID CONTINUOUSLY FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE. THE PROBLEM CAN SOMETIMES BE ELIMINATED IF I STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT - ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT IT'S NOT ALWAYS FEASIBLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN TWO TIMES FOR REPAIR. THEY CANNOT FIX IT, THEY TELL ME, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FROM FORD IN DETROIT. BASICALLY, THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE THAT I'M DRIVING A 6,200 POUND VEHICLE THAT OCCASIONALLY BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. HMMMM!

1) UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE SEEMS TO SLIP AND SHUDDER AS IF THE TIRES ARE NOT GRABBING THE ROAD. THIS IS AT ALL SPEEDS, WHETHER SLOW OR QUICK STARTS. ALSO, DURING HIGH SPEED ACCELERATION SUCH AS WHEN PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE IS A LOW PITCH GROWLING SOUND AND VIBRATION AS IF THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE BROKEN. 2) THE FRONT INTERMITTENT WIPERS TURN ON BY THEMSELF OCCASIONALLY, USUALLY JUST FOR ONE SWEEP THEN TURN BACK OFF. 3) THE REAR AUTOMATIC LOAD LEVELING AIR SHOCKS ON ONE OCCASION DEFLATED TOTALLY AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS. THE TRUCK CHASSIS WAS NEARLY TOUCHING THE REAR TIRES, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE AWAY UNTIL THEY REINFLATED AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE.
