Wipers--rain sensing or senseless vs. intermittent

[Outrageous]

I took a second test drive in the light rain yesterday (5 plus inches of rain here in CT the previous 24 hrs.) I just couldn't get the rain sensing wipers to do their job satisfactorily. They were always too fast, despite my trying to reduce the speed, while at a stop-light they quit wiping altogether. At the time I figured I just didn't know how to adjust them right, but when I reviewed the manual later online, I realized I was making the adjustments correctly. Are any of you owners having similar problems? Too bad there isn't a default standard "intermittent" setting for when the rain sensor is driving you nuts.
