Default Windshield wipers issue

Anyone has issues with their wipers moving back to original location when trying to turn them off? I gotta play with mine a little bit to get mine all the way down. Is this normal?

I was at the dealership last week and I had the same problem. I asked them if this was normal and they said it was not. It was covered under warranty and they fixed. go to your dealership and get it fixed.

I had the same issue. Warranty covered it but it took two appointments to find the problem.

In some states the wipers are configured to "snow mode", which causes it to not go fully down. It will slide up about 4 inches.

If that is what your're referring to.

thx for the links. Since the car is under warranty, I took it to the dealer last weekend. Come to find out the motor had a short and was replaced under warranty. Now the wipers work as normal.
