    I have a 2016 389 and whenever I turn the wipers on they're moving very slow even on the fastest setting. How can I diagnose the problem? And had anyone else had this problem?

    Yup its likely a wiper motor. They tend to need to be replaced every few years and are pretty cheap. I think the last one i got was $120 installed.

    Just changed the wiper motor on my Jeep. . Looked at the one on this 16 389, and it seems to be the same.
    $130 at AutoZone.
