No kidding! I had them on my White SRX and hated them. Not only the car, but the side wall of my garage was blue too if I hit the button in there accidentally...in the SRX, it was easy to accidentally hit. Useless feature that caused more annoyance than anything else. Thankfully, my other Caddys don't have it.

My only real issue with them was early on when I first bought the car. I was traveling less than 30MPH and had hit the washers... when I saw water spraying up from the front of the hood I thought my car was overheating.

I wonder if there is a fuse or somthing we can pull to just turn these washers off.

I have to agree that I do not like Cadillac's design on this feature. It makes a mess. My Volvo S60 T5 has actual wiper blades and does a great job of cleaning the road grime from snow and rain off the lense.... I guess if I was going off road it would be more useful.... We lived in the UK for 3 years and had a BMW 330i and the feature was very helpful during the drizzel that would dry on the hot lenses. The BMW's is a squirt like the Cadillac and not a spray and wipe like Volvo's.
