Windshield wipers will not shut off, unless I completely turn vehicle off. Any Suggestion?

Just bought this vehicle about 2 1/2 months ago and it has had this problem since the minute we purchased it. When vehicle is running and we turn the windshield wiper switch to the "on" position, they turn on with no problems. They will even change speeds accordingly based on the position of the switch. However, they will NOT turn off when we turn the windshield wiper switch to the "off".
The windshield wipers WILL turn off but ONLY if we do the following. 1. Turn the windshield wiper switch to the "off" position, WHILE the vehicle is still running. 2. Completely shut the vehicle off.
****It is at this point, when the vehicle is restarted, the windshield wipers will be off. Please let me know if you think it is the switch or the motor? Or maybe even another issue that we may not be considering. Thank you in advance for your replies.

When you turn the wiper off by turning the ignition switch off, if it is not in the parked position, would the wiper move to the parked position or it remains where it is?

This indicates a possible fault with the BCM. Try checking for trouble codes
