rear wiper on even when it is switch off?

I am not talking about when i switch the front wiper on and put it into reverse. my rear wiper is on randomly when i am driving and have the front wiper on.

Does it happen to anyone?

nope i don't have that problem.
you might have a bad switch.
take it to the dealer. it's under warranty.

Yeah bring it into the dealer to have it looked at. On a side note, I do like that feature of wiping the rear when reversing. One other side note/question, do you guys have speed sensing front wipers there?

My wife mentioned about the rear wiper, and I thought she was loopy. Apparently it was the reverse deal that she experienced.

Unfortunately not, But... someone here did a swap with the insight wiper stalk. The delayed functionality is built into the whole wiper switch/stalk and the fit/insight are interchangeable. I'd love to do this and also add steering wheel controls... but other bills have to be paid. I hate being grown-up and responsible.

oh... op... I've not had this happen either, just the "reverse auto-on"

i noticed it uses the rear whiper on occasion as well.. maybe its supposed to do that when your pulling in reverse and you turned on your whipers.
