I had that happen shortly after I got my car and the problem just went away. On a seperate ocasion I did find that one of the nuts that holds the wiper arm on was loose and it looked like it was being eratic, went away after tightening. (pop the cover off and tighten it down (do this with the wipers in the down position)

nope it still does it, i find it very annoying but have yet to do something about it because it doesn't happen ALL the time. I should check it out though. I was leaning towards the wiper motor because of the way it catches and jump and then sometimes just stops working in one spot, but i'm not sure.

wipers
I'm having the same prob. It does seem to be worse when its below 40 degres.
I thought maybe the rubber on the wiper arm is getting dry, but that dont seem to be it. Could it be something wrong with the intermittent control??
If yall figure it out let me know
Peace,
Mac

Did anybody ever figure out what was causing this problem? I had the exact same thing happen on the way to work this morning and it was very irritating...
