This Malibu's Wipers
I was test driving a 2008 Malibu LTZ, in the rain. The intensity of the rain died down, and so I turned the wipers to intermittent. At one point, the wipers stopped while they were straight up and down, and they did not finish their sweep for quite a few seconds. They stopped just as I was turning on the left turn signal, and so I figured this was some form of electrical malfunction/interaction with the turn signal. I made several more left turns to duplicate it, but could not. However, they did that ‘pause thing’ twice more. The salesman was not with me, but afterwards he said he thinks tht it has moisture sensitive wipers and that is the way they work. It does not seem right that even moisture sensitive wipers would stop without completing a sweep.
Is he right, or is this a defect?
Thanks,
LMD
