Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During rainy periods while driving at a slow speed (20-30 MPH) in parking lots or residential streets where water has pooled when I hit a deep (3-5 inches) puddle the power steering on my 2004 Cadillac deville DTS stops functioning for a period of 30-45 seconds. Because I am unable to steer my car I must come to a complete stop until the power steering recovers. I have taken my car to the dealer when it was under warranty and now to a repair shop several times to have the vehicle inspected and repaired. All tell me there is nothing they can do. …”
