Consumer Description

IN THE PAST MONTH POWER STEERING HAS FAILED IN WET WEATHER 7-8 TIMES. TO DATE THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING OFF CITY STREETS, BUT I AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WILL BE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THE STEERING RE-ENGAGES WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. IT ALSO RE-ENGAGES AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS IF THE IGNITION REMAINS ON. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED HAPPENING, BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT HAS RAINED. I CONTACTED CADILLAC AND THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION OR RECALLS DESPITE WHAT I FOUND (ON AN INTERNET SEARCH) TO BE A PROBLEM OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED ON THIS MODEL FOR YEARS 2003-2005. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED? I TRANSPORT MY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN DAILY IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LARGE "SAFE" CAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. BASICALLY, I FEEL THAT WE CAN NO LONGER SAFELY DRIVE THIS CAR IN WET WEATHER AND WE LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE WE CAN'T ALWAYS PREDICT IF AND WHEN IT WILL RAIN. *TR
