Rain Sensing Wipers Inconsistent

[ddnyr]

I have rain sensing wipers activated on my GCL, and when it drizzles they go from very infrequent cycles to going full speed. Has anyone come across this? Should I just turn off the sensing feature?

Yes. Dealer cannot resolve the issue.

I've noticed this as well. I thought maybe I didn't know how to use it right, but it seems like it's just one more 'weird electrical behavior' from my Pandora's Uconnect Box.

My 2013 and 2020 JGCs both do/did this. It's normal.

My BMWs have had this feature for about 15 years, but it works in a much more 'expected' fashion re varying speed and correctly sensing the 'need'. Different systems, though, probably. You can always turn it off if you don't like how it operates, I guess.

My old Mercedes Benzs also work as it should.
On the GCL and my previous Durango don't work perfectly, very inconsistent.

Both of my GCL's had rain-sensing wipers and never exhibited this behavior. It's either a sensor issue or a software issue.

Yeah I’ll probably just be shutting it off. Frustrating that dealer doesn’t have a solve for it.

There are a lot of issues like this. Mine seems really bad when the rain is like a mist? small droplets and many of them cause the system to go totally batshit. Otherwise, more normal rain it responds properly.
