Shaking from my wipers

Question for you guys: In the rain yesterday, I had my wipers on low - and I noticed that the car would shake when the wipers moved. Kind of like the motor in the wipers was so strong, it could move the car. It did this in all wiper speeds, from intermittant on the lowest speed to regular high - it was the same shake, everytime the wiper turned.

It happened in park and while in drive (stopped at a light).

I am not nitpicking here at all - the ONLY reason I ask is because I am wondering of this is normal. If have only owned three other cars, all POS, but none of them did this.

Normal?

the wipers are pretty powerful... if you have the wipers on off, and push up on the lever it does a really fast/strong sweep... I dont like to use it much because it feels like there is too much torque for the wipers to handle.

TZVECL,

Sounds not right. I don't feel it in my car. Each wipe will shake your car seems very serious. For me, I'd call my dealer to check.

Change your blades, the car comes with cheap wiper blades.
Try silbades or Piaa Silicone Blades, They hold up to everything.
