Consumer Description

POWER STEERING FLUID IS SQUIRTING ALL OVER MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT CADILLAC KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT'S NOT A PROBLEM FOR MY VIN. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR, POWER STEERING FLUID CONTACTS THE HOT ENGINE PARTS AND BEGINS SMOKING. THEY'VE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO CATCH FIRE SO I STOPPED DRIVING IT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW IS A PROBLEM, HENCE THEIR OWN RECALL. THEY TELL ME I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND IF IT'S PART OF THE RECALL, I MIGHT GET REIMBURSED.
