auto wipers

[bertybassett]

hi I have a 2014 focus ecoboost 1.6 petrol.  my auto wipers are a problem,when i  put them on they come on twice then go to sleep,they then come on on occasions but not efficient enough to the point I can be driving with windscreen full of rain obscurring my vision, this is dangerous,some would say put the on full which i have to but what is the point of having auto wipers.i think it is a bad point for the car, has anyone else had the same problem and is there a cure for it. i could book it in for repair but they may not find it is faulty because when i spray water on the sensor it seems to work until i put it on the road and it becomes inificient and dangerous to use when driving

Sure it's on max?  That's the 'thin' end of the wedge in the older Focus, confused me for ages as it seems backwards lol.
