Growler noise from Wiper motor

[Rotorhead451]

Today was the first time for us to need wind shield wipers. I noticed a definite low-pitched growl each and every time the wiper motor engaged. I tried reducing the volume control on the sound system (even though it wasn't playing) but that did nothing to help.

Sound familiar to anyone?

Nope, that sounds abnormal.

Never heard that noise coming from the wiper motor.

Appointment with Service Dept next Monday . . .

spent an hour at the dealer today, and they agreed about the noisy wiper motors. They're ordering new ones, and they will be installed sometime in the next couple weeks.

Just drove home from a day at the dealers. They did change out the wiper motor and it operates nearly silently now. Even the shop foreman noticed a big difference. Very stealthy now . . .
