Wiper is stop working for 4-5 seconds while car is moving 60rmp speed in the rain.

While I was driving c200 with speed of 60-80km/h, either I put the wiper sensor to auto or manual mode,the car wiper is stop wiping for 4-5 seconds and resume it back later. it's dangerous to drive the car in the heavy rain with the wiper stop working for few second. The 4-5 second do counts in the heavy rain. U can imagine the rain flow on the windscreen n the wiper not working for few seconds n the car is moving with speed of 60-80km/h.

Anyone have the idea about this?

If that is what happened when you left the wipers in auto mode, I'm not surprised. I'm never a fan of auto mode for wipers. I wish there was manually adjustable intermitten, low, and high modes.

When it's a light rain, I have no choice but to put the wipers in auto. In a steadier rain, I would put it in low mod
