Driving in rain and wipers went slow like losing voltage or power then just stopped. I had this happen once before but when they seemed sluggish I just had mechanic replace the motor. The motor is less than 2 years old. I read about wiper motor issues but my VIN doesn't seem to be on there. Not sure but hoping it can be added. Will take back to mechanic and see about transverser which are the arms under the cowl that move the wipers per the motor. If still having issue has to be wiper recall due to moisture right? have replaced alternator already due to low voltage so it can't be that. Replaced batteries when I replace alternator. Everything else electrical working just fine.

While traveling in heavy rain, the wipers started to operate in intermittent mode, even though the switch was set to continues operation. Minutes later, they seemed to quit altogether. Using window wash would get me the normal four swipe function, so I had to continue under this pattern. As I continued, the wiper function would occasionally return to full, or intermittent function without regard to switch position (except off). The next day was dry, and the wipers operated normally, and local dealer could not find a problem. In the next rain, the problem returned after about twenty minutes of use. I returned to the dealer, but rain had stopped, and so did the problem. It has now been about three years of dealing with this issue, and still I get nothing but frustrated shrugs. This problem can arise within minutes of rain, or thirty plus minutes, but does not happen if I run the wipers without rain. I did one experiment when the truck had been parked outdoors and it started to rain. Without moving, I started the wipers and let them run. They operated normally for more then an hour before the problem started, so I believe airflow is getting water some place that is causing the problem. After informing the dealer, they want to do a very expensive trial and error, now that the truck is out of warranty.
