wiper problems

Recently my wipers go on without turning them on; then they stop at some point, usually in middle of windshield.
On the other hand, when I turn them on they will work for a while and then also go off by themselves. Anyone have similar problem?

Do you have the rain sensor option? Perhaps you have a problem with that.

I just hope you know that when the car comes to a stop the wiper blades slow down.
Mine have never stopped in the middle of the windshield, sounds like you have a problem.

i agree. you are experiencing 1 of 2 problems. first, could be that the rain sensor wiper is screwed. mine isn't but still acts really funny from time to time (sucks if you ask me) or 2 : go to the dealer because the motor is screwed. in any case, if your car i under warranty, take it in and tell them to fix it.
