problem #2

Aug 222012

DTS 8-cyl

  • 55,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Cadillac Dts. The contact was driving 50 mph when an abnormal growling sound was emitted from the steering wheel. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the power steering pressure hose exhibited a hole, which was leaking power steering fluid onto the engine. The contact did not take the vehicle to a dealer or a local mechanic due the vehicle being inoperable. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign I.D. 06V105000 (steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connections) and called the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that the recall (GM recall number:06026) was non- existent. The failure mileage was 50,000. Updated 9/26/12

GM should recall all of these cars with faulty hoses.
