My windshield wipers do their own thing. When I turn them off they keep going, when I put them on delay or intermittent they work for a bit but then go on regular speed?? What is going on??? My car is only 5 yrs old???

After turning wipers on intermittent they sometimes park 2" above where they should. Then on the next cycle they may not shut off at all.

Same problem. Wipers have a mind of their own. They won't turn off and if they do it's wherever they want to.

windshield wipers will turn on and then do thier own thing, will not turn completely off unless the ignition is turned off, If they do turn off it is in the upright position.

Just started last week, intermitant setting on wipers working erratically and wipers don't turn off immediately with switched off or just using washer function. When it does turn off does not always park properly.

Happened to me and TSB 07-071 covers this issue. If you're lucky you can get it fixed under warranty but otherwise you may need to replace the wiper motor.
