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
