As we are driving when using the right turn signal the windshield wipers turn on with no rain. This is not all the time and has happened when turning starting and causing safety concerns. The windshield wipers have stayed on for over 2 hours while driving in rural area with no rain and causing issues with visibility and noise when there is no rain. We have contacted Mercedes and they do not see this as a safety issue but a maintenance issue. We do not understand how a malfunction on the steering column with the turn signals and windshield wipers is a maintenance issue as they are required items to drive and be safe. We would like NTHSA to look into the issue was we have seen it is occurring in the vehicles and is a manufacture defect.
