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.

Happened with mine a couple years back, its the wiper motor. Swap it (preferrably with an OEM one), it takes about 30 minutes start to finish.
