“We just wanted to alert you of a life threatening situation that occurred with our 2007 Cadillac Escalade Esv, on wednesday, july 17, 2013. I had just picked up my kids from swim practice and was pulling out of the parking lot when my steering wheel was completely disconnected from the wheels and had no ability to steer the car... It just freely spun around and around. Thankfully, I was able to stop the vehicle before hitting a tree and my kids and I were not injured, just very shaken. …”

Informed by dealer the manifold heatshield rusted and fell into the steering mechanism causing the complete lack of steering control. Extended warranty company refuses to cover repair.”
