Wipers won't shut off, they randomly turn on even while driving on sunny days. Anti-lock brake system acts up, but sensor doesn't detect that there's an issue with it. Causes problems stopping when acting up. No warning lights come on to show that there's anything wrong, just can't really stop.

Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
I purchased my 2011 Ford edge limited 4/28/21...Every since this car has gave me hell. Both Cadillac converters keep going on, the heat shield is constantly rattling, and the switch to the wiper is bad.
When I turn on my front wipers they stay on. No matter what. They almost have a mix of their own. They won't turn off. Even f I turn my car off then back on they stay on. I feel like it's more of a distraction when it's not raining having them on.
I I cannot remove the head rests on the rear seats. This has been a problem since I bought the vehicle in 2014, I believe. If I put the rear seats down, it's okay, but with them up, it blocks approx. 30% of view, out the back window. To me, that's a safety issue. I had taken it to a couple of different dealers, but been told it cannot be done. There are buttons to push (same as on the front seats), and the head rests can be raised and lowered, but not totallu removed as can be done with the fronts. Also, seems when I go to the car wash, the rubber of the rear window wiper blade becomes torn. Since I don't hardly ever use it, I thought I'd just remove it. Again, to no avail. Is the anything that can be done in that reguard? Thanks for any help at all, that you might have.
My wiper blades go will go off about every 5-10 seconds and know is in off position. My vehicle can be in park or in motion and still the same. I've twisted the know on and off and still they will not turn off. Started about 3 weeks ago and still going
Wipers have a mind of their own coming on when ever they want to and run on intermittent. You could start the car and the wipers start. During love bug season smearing love bug guts all over the window. Causing a distraction, not only to you but to other drivers. Trying to fiddle with the wiper control trying to get it to stop. I took the car to nick nicholas ford in crystal river fl on 8-26-15 am. They said they looked at it and there was nothing wrong. Drove to work and at 11:00 am on 8-26-15 it started again and about every 35 seconds they wipe across the dry windshield. I checked on the internet and others are having the same problem.
