Car: 1999 Ford Taurus SE sedan a problem has started occuring with my front windshield wipers since Oct 2004. The wipers are malfunctioning, whereby they come on intermittently even when the wiper-switch is in the off position. I took my car to my dealer ( dillon Ford, 30 tolland turnpike, manchester, ct ) to have this problem examined and fixed. The dealership charged me $75 to examine the problem. The technicians reported that they were nto able to reproduce the problem and felt the cause of the problem might be a failed GEM module. I ordered a new GEM module through the dealership and had my GEM module replaced. This cost me about $400. The replacement did not fix my problem at all. I still have in my possession my old GEM module; the car has the new GEM module. I took the car agian to the dealership on 05/20/2005 to have the problem fixed, however the technicians again reported that they were not able to reproduce the problem. Meanwhile I still have the problem with the malfunctioning wipers, and I feel this is not only a huge irritant, but also a safety hazard.
