Windshield wipers not stopping correctly..?
So.. has anyone had this problem?
I was driving home the other day in the rain using the intermittent rain-sensor setting, and suddenly, instead of stopping in their regular resting stop, the wipers started stopping half-way up on my windshield. They've been doing that ever since and I feel like a retard driving with them like that.
I went to the dealership today where they plugged it into a star diagnostics device, and they have no idea what's wrong.
So.. has anyone encountered this before and know a fix? I tried the search but found nothing conclusive
PS I'm getting tired of this POS car and the constant **** I have to put up with. In the 24.000 km's (15.000 miles) I've had it, I have spent somewhere around 6000$ on various repairs and services (not counting tires). Considering that it's only driven around 116.000 km (72.000 miles), I find this ridiculous. Never buying a Benz again unless it's brand new.

I feel your pain friend. I have had repairs done under warranty that so far cost $16000, and spend around $4000 of my own money to keep the car running. Now, I have the same problem as you with the wipers stuck halfway up the windshield. After doing a lot of research online, I found this thread where the solution to our problem ended up to be that we need a new windshield wiper motor. I still have not replaced the motor on mine and I am planning on doing that as soon as I get some money saved up. The motor is not expensive from parts.com is about $112 to $120. Here is the link:

I don't have a DIY but I will help you along. It's not complicated. Two things that may be somewhat difficult. If the wiperarms are stuck, see if you can get a hold of a wiper arm puller. The other thing is the cowl, or the rain collector. You have to lossen it with hooks on both sides and then pull it down and off. The rest is easy. If you get stuck, post here or send me a PM.

Thanks a lot Lenin. My car does not have the automatic rain wipers. It only has the intermittent option, regular, and fast. Would that make things less complicated? I will probably try to do this next week cause I am busy this week, but I will definitely pm you for some help if I run into difficulties.
