i'd agree to it being optional in the DIC...

they could have made a LOT of things better w/that...

also.. on a 60k truck; where the hell is my auto up AND down on ALL windows?

I've seen 15k cars do this...

Or you can just buy a new one as they dropped the feature in 2010.

The original RainSense worked a whole helluva lot better than RainSense II.

Not sure but I doubt it.

Just confirmed: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...e-changes.html

Also removed the power 2nd row seats from the front console which I miss.

Yes, the ford does:

Rain-sensing wipers can detect rain, snow or road spray hitting your windshield, and automatically run at just the right speed. You don’t have to take your hands off the wheel or other controls to adjust your wipers as weather conditions change. The system does this for you. And you can set its sensitivity to suit your needs. It is standard on Expedition XLT Premium, Limited and King Ranch®.

I've learned 2 things from buying a brand new 2009 Tahoe LTZ...
1. never buy a car over 25k new... always 1 year old...
2. never buy a GM...

^ check the Ford forums, there are issues with the rain sensing system also...

IMO Ford and GM have come a long way; however, both still have issues.

I'm sure they do, but the disapointment on the build quality / fit / finish of my $53k truck has jaded me to the point where... never again...

that's all. I won't bring it up again

I 100% agree^^^
Having the option to disable should be a no-brainer!
I can't stand them, they always do the opposite of my preference.
