I'm not sure how GM considers it a good design especially if damage could occur when the vehicle is restarted. Maybe the wipers should electrically default to a “full off” state until the wiper switch is moved after re-start.

Any mechanical device that can automatically move after the operator believes power is off is not a good design. I started the thread for general information purposes. I’m not expecting to get a GM recall notice to have a sticker installed on the wipers stating “may move automatically when power is assumed off”
