25 problems related to windshield wiper/washer have been reported for the 1999 Ford Expedition. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I purchased this vehicle on 9/8/2002. I have had a problem with the windshield wipers coming on while riding down the road, and also when I turn on the turn signals. It is very embarrasing when other people are looking at this happening to a dry windshield. I had it in the shop on 9/13/2002 and I was told that the machine did not diagnose a problem and to keep driving it until the wiper completely stop>ak.
Front windshield wipers self activates. Occurence is more common when turning corners. May be associated with using turn signal. If I recall correctly, during early month of ownership, Ford notified me of similar problem with rear windshield wiper. I brought the vehicle in and had this and the trailer hitch recall taken care of. Ford dealership told me my vehicle did not have a defective part (for the rear wiper switch) and therefore did not change out. Mr.

Windshield wipers come on automactically. Manufacturer sent technical service bulletins to dealer on windshield wipers. TSB only covers consumers with warranties.

Approximately 2 months ago my windshield wipers started going on without me turning the wipers on. At first I thought that I had hit the button but then it started to happen more and more frequently so I took the truck into the dealership. I had made an appointment but as soon as I told the gentleman what the problem was he told not to even leave the truck that day -he knew what the problem was and was going to order the part for me. I asked approximately how long it would take to get it in and he replied with a shrug of his shoulders that the part that I needed was back-ordered. That was about three weeks ago and I had heard nothing about it until I saw a report on channel 7 news about all of the problems.

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.

The windshield wipers on my 99 Expedition come on at will. I have not been able to pin point exactly when it happens, because it just happens out of the blue. This problem has been reported and taken to the dealer from which I purchased the car. I was told a part was ordered on 9/7/99 but to date I have not been notified that the part has been delivered. I saw a news report on abc and am reporting the problem as instructed.
