While driving in a hard rain/snow mix in central Wisconsin on February 14th 2023, I had to set my wipers to high in order to maintain safe visual clarity of my surroundings.

After about a minute of working, it would slow and stall again. This felt very dangerous and clearly WILL cause many acc…

With the windshield wipers on in the continuous low setting, the wipers will slow down and stop after a minute or two of operation. This has happened more than once while driving in the rain. The wipers were not obstructed, no snow/ice (40 to 50 degrees outside) and it was raining, so the windshield was not dry. This stopping of the wipers caused me to remove one hand from the steering wheel, and fiddle with the wiper controls to get the wipers to start back up, while the rain outside was obscuring my vision. I switched the wipers off and b…
