2006 Cadillac CTS Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Turned on windshield wipers and windshield washer motor starting spraying cleaner. I tried turning off the wipers and even changing the wiper speeds but the motor keeps trying to spray cleaner. Eventually I ran out of cleaner but you can still hear the motor running when the wipers are on. Pulled over and shut car off, waited 5 minutes and started car again but the washer motor still comes on when I turn on the windshield wipers. This was dangerous as it just flooded my view with wiper fluid. Not sure if wiper washer motor will burn out and cause other electrical issues. …”

“I own a 2006 Cadillac CTS which I've had for two years. Last night while parked in my garage, my sunroof shattered. After inspection I noticed that no debris had fallen on it and to my knowledge there were no existing cracks or scratches. I looked into it and reviewed multiple complaints and the fact the NHTSA has investigated this problem with Cadillac before. I am taking the vehicle to a Cadillac dealer tomorrow, but after speaking to them on the phone they made it clear that they think the sunroof shattering was a result of something I did.”

“Windshield wiper motor will not shut off once turned on. Intermittent does not work at all. Must stop the vehicle, turn off the motor and remove the key from ignition in order to stop the windshield wipers. Everytime the wipers are turned on this happens...everytime. How does someone drive on a freeway having to stop their vehicle everytime they need to turn on a windshield wiper? This defect is on thousands of CTS's...maybe hundreds of thousands of cadillacs according to the website clubs.... And is a $1,000 repair. Gm should fix this defect for free. It is extremely dangerous while driving.”

“2006 Cadillac CTS with faulty brakes. Consumer states that all the servicemen at the dealer completely ignored her when she got there for the repair on her vehicle. She believes the workers at the dealer are practicing racism/discrimination. The rear view mirror was broken, the fuel gauge was fluctuating, the brake system, ABS and traction control lights illuminated. The consumer stated when she turned into a parking space, a loud dragging noise was heard and felt. Even though her foot was on the brake, the vehicle continued to roll, and growl. Updated 06/09/08”
