Wipers not working

Just on an off chance...has anyone had trouble with their windshield wipers not working? I just had it happen today. They stopped 1/2 way in the middle of the window. I thought, not good, and then I turned them off. I started them again and then they were fine. I was hoping it was a glitch. Dropped my Son off at school and started the car and it did it again. This time, the wipers went into high gear and did that for about 3 seconds and then would stop in the middle of the windshield. The only way I could see was to keep turning them off and on and they constantly did that. On the way to the dealership they went back to normal. (Typical). It's at the dealership now and they have never seen this. They were able to see them malfunction. Have been in contact with MB and probably going to be there a few days. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this same issue. It's a '14 GL 350.

I would take it into your dealer. Must be some glitch.

I just had this happen on a 1.5 hour trip mid way. Unfortunately, also where there were barrels making it difficult to drive.
What was your outcome?
I have a 2014 GL550. (10/13) with 26k miles.

It was a bad motor so they had to order a new part for it. I was probably at 10K miles when it happened. I'm at almost 26K miles now as well. 2014 GL350 (Aug 13) So far so good with the new motor!
