Re: Rear Windshield Washer Not Working

They will compare the way your CC works to other SRXes. They ll work the same so you will be told that it operates as it should.

From the price of your oil change I assume you have a V8. If you compare te way the CC opertes you will notice that it overreacts. For example if you are going 40 in CC and hit accelerate on the CC there is a hesitation then the engine surges, and is pretty racy for CC throttling. If you click to set when it hits 60, it will probably settle in at 57 or so. This is still fully functional but sloppy.

V6s don't do this (or so I am told). All other Cadillac models are much smoother (Have verified with my DTS, Escalade, STS and CTS.

The bottom line is that the V8 CC isn't matched up to properly to th engine. I suspect that the V6 CC module is also used on the V8. (I can't verify this because Cadillac parts will not give out part numbers). The module kicks in too much throttle for the V8 and just the right amount for the V6.

I could accept this on a Yugo. But not on a Cadillac. Remember, this isn't an SRX, it is a Cadillac. Check yours' out and see if it operates as I explained.

I wish others would complain instead of settling for a $20,000 solution on a $50,000 vehicle.
