2006 Cadillac CTS Visibility & Wipers Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac CTS. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, the rear windshield shattered. There was no impact to the rear windshield that could have caused it to shatter. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and requested photos of the vehicle, the contact's driver's license, vehicle registration, and vehicle title. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THEY CONTINUE TO GO. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION FOR THEM TO STOP. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR
