2007 Cadillac DTS Steering Problems

“Since this first indecent I find ever time it rains if I go thru a puddle of water and turn left or right that the power steering will go out for several seconds before you can recover. Today we have heavy rain and at one turn it nearly resulted with me hitting a semi truck that was in a merge lane and as I made my turn onto the highway steering again out, I could not complete the turn which pointed me at the far lane and the oncoming mammoth truck as I jerked the wheel the steering regained and I jolted back into my lane. …”

“Engine stopped. All power equipment ceased to function. I was able to get to the side of the freeway. Put the car in neutral, turned the key and the car started and continued for the duration of the 200 mile trip. The second time approximately three weeks ago my wife was driving in heavy city traffic when the same problem occurred and she lost the use of all power equipment. She was able to put the car in park and get it started again without incident. I called GM complaint department. They instructed me to take the car to a dealership and have a diagnostic test done on it. …”

“When I bought the car the owner told me the power steering was bad and that they would fix it. They replaced the power steering pump but it didn't fix the issue. When I took the car to get inspected so I could get it titled, it failed the inspection due to a leak in the power steering high pressure line, the rear third brake light being broke, the top motor mount failing and both the front and back wheel bearings being worn. When I took the car back to the dealership, the owner got in my face and shoved me making me leave.”
