    2014, 4-cylinder, 5-lug, 32K miles. When I turn off my wipers...they complete the wipe cycle, and when they reach the full down position, they move back up about 2 " and stop. This happens if I do a single wipe, or they have been running and I turn them off. I have looked at old photos of truck, and this "new" parked position is definitely NOT correct. Ideas??

    Ideas? I have one:

    32K miles, Under warranty, take it to the dealer before you hit 36K miles.

    Mine does this sometimes. I tap it again and they go all the way down.

    Mine does this sometimes, as well. I, too, just hit the wiper stick and let it fix itself. I'm outside of warranty, so I'm living with it until it becomes a real issue.

    I mis-spoke...it has 42K miles.

    I ran the wipers several more times, and it has eventually started to park in the correct position. FYI, I have another car that had this exact issue...except it was not intermittent, as this seems to be on the Tacoma. Replaced the wiper relay and fixed that problem.

    I've had this happen also. It's weird because you can tell something is off but don't realize it until you fix the problem.

    Usually hitting the wiper toggle up fixes it, but who knows if it'll just get worse over time?

    same on my truck... sometimes it goes all the way down then a smidge back up. Another full swipe 99% of the time fixes it.
