2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE Steering Problems

THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND OIL AND POWER STERING FLUIDS WAS ON MY CARPORT. I HAVE CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET AND MORE THAN A FEW IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME SUV.

LOST ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING FROM THE ERROR CODE SYSTEM. COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY OR CAUSED ONE.I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE AND THAT UNIT WAS CORRODED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ALSO WHILE IN PARK, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SERIAL DATA GATEWAY MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO PART DISCONTINUITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.
