06 Sonata intermittent wiper delay

Matt Whiting · 2006-05-19T19:47:33+00:00

What are folks seeing for the delay times on your 2006 Sonata's intermittent wipers? Mine seemed to have a pretty short delay compared to my other vehicles, so today I timed them. My Chrysler minivan and Chevy truck run 20+ seconds on max delay (the truck is probably closer to 30 seconds, the van is 20). And even on min delay, they still take a short pause between wipes, maybe a second or slightly less. You can easily tell the difference between min delay on intermittent and continuous on low speed.My Sonata delay is only 9 seconds on max delay, and on min delay the wipers run continuously with no discernible delay between wipes. I can't tell the difference between min delay on the intermittent setting and the continous wipe position. This doesn't seem right to me and is a pain in light mist conditions as the wipers run way more often than necessary. What are you other 06 Sonata owners seeing?Matt

I have to agree with you on that. Seems that some engineering should stay on the drawing board.

Yep, unfortunately, people seem to buy these goofy features. Then again, people who live in the city and never even venture to the burbs buy Expeditions and Suburbans. Go figure....
