Description of the problem | I was driving my car out of the gas station and i turned left and honked the horn because someone was still sitting at the green light. As i turned my steering wheel back straight the wipers came on by themselves and wouldn't go back off. This has been going on for a year. They turn on by themselves even when the key is out of the ignition. I have video proof not pictures. They don't work in the rain and i've tried just about everything i can to fix them but to no avail. If you look up wipers coming on by themselves on 2013 ford focus you'll see that my car isn't the only one doing this. I'm scared someone is going to get injured or possibly killed because they couldn't see when a rainstorm sneaks up on them. |
