Default Auto wipers go crazy
Whenever there's mild dew on my windshield, wipers start wiping non-stop for 5-10 min. Wth??

Dew does **** the system off. I usually just turn it off until it clears.

I find that the rain sensing system doesn't respond fast enough when the rain picks up quickly or when it stops. I also just turn them on/off manually.

You can adjust the sensitivity with the knurled ring switch.

Yeah, I know, but there are still, "OK, you can stop now, crazy wipers" moments after the rain slows down. And if I am going to have to adjust that ring a lot, I might as well just leave it in manual mode.

I think we all have this issue. It's pretty similar problem in my RX as well.
