Traveling in heavy rain when intermittent windshield wipers suddenly became non-operational. The wipers stopped midway on the windshield. The regular and fast wiper speeds are still operational at this point. In order to have the wipers return to the normal position on the windshield, the wiper switch has to be continually moved from the off position to the intermittent position until the wipers gradually move down the windshield. Vehicle needs to be taken to dealership to have problem diagnosed and repaired immediately.
