Consumer Description

DURING HEAVY RAIN OR DRIVING THROUGH WATER THE STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT. SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME TODAY....ALMOST HIT BY A LOG TRUCK WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. OCT 2011 I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER SUCH COMPLAINTS, BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? I SAW THE SAME THING HAPPEN A YEAR OR SO AGO TO AN ELDERLY LADY TURNING INTO OUR NEIGBBORHOOD IN HER CADILLAC DEVILLE...SHE JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 2 LANE ROAD...LUCKILY SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE AT THE INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR AND PUSH IT TO SAFETY. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT THE TIME UNTIL THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME...AND I REMEMBER THAT THE DAY IT HAPPENED TO MY NEIGHBOR IT WAS ALSO RAINING. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY GM ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! NOW I NEVER DRIVE MY CAR WHEN IT'S RAINING AND IF IT HAPPENS TO RAIN WHILE I'M OUT MY NERVES ARE COMPLETELY SHOT! I'D LIKE TO GET RID OF THE CAR, BUT I COULD NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE PASS THIS VEHICLE ONTO ANOTHER PERSON KNOWING WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE STEERING ISSUE. *TR
