When you engage the windshield washer, the wipers continue to run and will not turn off. At times the only way to stop the wipers is to pull the fuse. Other times, simply turning off the ignition and letting the car sit for a few minutes also works.

My 2003 cadillac cts caught on fire. Fireman said that it was the windshield wiper module that caught on fire. The car was parked for hours and fire started while we was sleeping. The whole engine is burnt up and the car is totaled. Now I have no car and no money to get another car.

Window wipers wont turn off or work on delay. Keep going on off. Same problem on 2003 cadillac a year ago and cost us over $400. If not a defect, how could one person end up with two vehicles of the same make & model doing the same thing on wipers? Especially something so expensive and not something simple. Now I have to pay that again and have never had that on any other vehicle I have owned.

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. Ma 10/16/15 updated 12/13/2017

After fueling the car I was distracted and failed to remove the nozzle from the tank filler. As I moved forward, I heard a thump and stopped. The fueling hose was pulled from the filler and was also disconnected from the gas pump. There is a quick disconnect on the hose that parted. Evidently enough people make the same mistake otherwise the quick disconnect would not have bee provided. The station attendant said not to worry it is easy to reconnect. He said I was not the first person to do this and won't be the last. There is an easy remedy to prevent this from happening. All cars should be equipped with a sound warning indicating that the fuel hose is still in the filler. Even better there should be an interlock to prevent the car from starting. This would not be a very expensive warning device. It certainly would make more sense than having the windshield wipers come on when rain is detected.
