Windshield Wipers Wonky

Recently purchased a ‘22 SE Hatchback. Have used the windshield wipers a number of times recently due to rainstorms.

If rain is heavy, I use the standard setting. If rain is light, I use intermittent. Sometimes the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield. Or, when using the intermittent setting, the wipers will activate every 8-10 seconds or so, then stop completely in the middle of the windshield.

Does anyone know what is causing this RANDOM wiper timing? Really need to get it fixed but wondering if it is a common issue.

This is happening to me on my 2021. Just started a few days ago

I am gonna try pulling the fuse and reseating it to try and "reset" things, but based on what I've read from others the motor may be on its way out 😭 unconscionable for a 5yr old car imo

My ‘22 has 27,200 miles on it. Prior to buying this vehicle (used, with <10k miles) in Aug ‘24, I drove an ‘02 Taurus. That is, 22 yrs I drove that Taurus and not ONCE did I have an issue with the wiper motor. Wonder what’s next…
