Default Sticky wipers

If you turn the wipers on my S1 off whilst they're half way through their wipe cycle they stop where ever I turn them off and I have to flick the lever down when they return to the bottom. Plus, if i try to use the intermittant option they go about 8 inch up the screen and stop, I then have to turn the wipers on and do as above to get them to stop back at the bottom again. HELP!!!
