What owners wrote

Sync/my touch console on 2011 ford edge locks up or goes dead. There is no way to activate the windshield defrost without the touch screen. Dealership service department has been unable to unlock screen. This problem has been widely reported on owners website for the 2011 edges, but ford does not seem to have a fix for it. It is winter and I need to run defrost.

Reported at 3,565 miles, December 2010

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.
