Every time I turn on my turn signal, mostly the left one, my windshield wipers turn on (both front and back) The turn signal is on the opposite side of the steering column from the wiper switch so I'm not accidently hitting it. It seems to be getting worse. It happens only sometimes when I turn on my right signal or only the back wiper will turn on. I'm praying this is covered under the 100K mile warrenty but the dealership hasn't called us back. Any input on what it might be or if you've heard this is common in this model?

there are no TSB's regarding this issue ... it sounds like a faulty switch or wiring and should be covered under your warranty !
