Default Wipers getting stuck in the middle of the windshield

Anyone else ever see this? For instance, sometimes (often?) when I tap the stalk upwards for the single swipe, the wipers will stop part way across the windshield.

I assume warranty would cover this defect. Anyone else experience this?

Yes I have experienced this too. I wasn't sure if this was a defect or not, but it is quite annoying when the wipers get stuck in the middle and you have to manually hit the stalk again to bring them back down. Any others experiencing this?

I've experienced the same problem. I brought it to the dealer about 3 months ago and they said the relay was sticking. They replaced it and it hasn't happened since.

Hello, I am having the same problem. I was wondering have you found out the fix for it?

Yes. As someone said above, I also took it to the dealer, they replaced the relay under warranty, and it was fixed.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I've had this happen on other cars and it related to how long I held the stick up. If I gave too light a tap, they would stop partway, whereas with a more robust lift up they would go through the whole cycle.
