problem #2

Jul 202004

SeVille 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles
1997 Cadillac Seville sts power steering failed while making a left turn. Steering effort increased instantly and caused the car to run off the road, no damage or injury fortunately as the speed was low. Steering to the right is comparatively normal but steering to the left requires as much force as I can muster, worse at slower speeds (such as parking or turning left form a stop or crawl). I did some research and found large numbers of Cadillac with the same problem and that it is not confined to them alone, in fact there seems to be a large quantity of GM products that have the same thing happen, some involving injury accidents.
