This is a common problem & is usually related to the switch not the motor. Ivangene has the right idea. When turning the wipers off exert forward pressure on the stalk. You may have to push fairly hard. When I found that pushing forward worked I also had the rubber band idea but it didn't supply enough pressure. If the wipers park when you shut them off while pushing forward then it's the switch. Cleaning it won't necessarily do the trick. The contact could be bent thru years of use. Just has to be bent back. At this point I don't remember if pushing forward causes the contacts to close or remain open. either way if you remove the wheel & clamshell & observe which contacts change their behavior when you push forward & don't push forward you will see immediately what the problem is. If I remember correctly it's the ones closest to the dashboard. So if pushing forward works then that's the problem. Quick easy fix & best of all...no $$$$. Your intermittent feature will also work again.
Good Luck
