OK, so I was driving to work the other morning in a very light rain. I had the windshiel wipers going on intermittent. I was at a stop-light, and it turned green right when my windshield wipers were halfway through a wipe. So I hit the gas and the wipers went again with about 1/2 second delay! WTF?

I thought I was seeing things, so I tried it at the next stop-light and it did it again!! Too funny. Almost like there was a surge in the computer or something that forced the wiper delay to run.

Just to make sure i wasn't crazy, I did it with the wife in the car yesterday and I duplicated it...glad I'm not the only person who has seen it...I thought I was losing my mind.

While this is really no big deal, it does make me wonder if it's a symptom of a bad ECU or something.

Anyone else seen this?

What model of Forte do you have? Maybe it's possible that the delay is part of the "smart" alternator on the EX with the mileage package?

With my Koup SX on slowest intermittent I noticed about every 1 of 6 'rounds' the delay between swipes is shorter than the other 5.

hahaha... that's pretty awesome. I don't think I've paid that much attention to my wipers. Then again, haven't driven much in the rain here in California (read: California doesn't get much rain). I'll have to see if I can duplicate this issue.

Very interesting. I'll let you know what happens with my EX Eco.

I had the same experience- at a light and started out and it went before it was supposed to- I asked my buddy was I seeing things and he said it probably had a sensor like the Benz does. But over time I realized that it wasn't a sensor like the Benz-- so I thought it was just a one time quirk.
