On occasion, when turning off the wipers, they would come to a stop in a complete vertical position, which obstructed vision, and made me look like a complete moron driving down the road with them up (surprised I never got a ticket!)
I've heard that there's a small "park" tab on the wiper transmission that a limit switch strikes, which should cause it to stop. This tab wears down and rounds off, making it unusable.
I don't know if that fix works or not because I traded that car in for my wonderful Impala (which you can find on this site under Lights and Transmission problems, along with others).
