general problems of the 2005 Cadillac Deville

Tl the contact owns 2005 Cadillac Deville. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, she attempted to make a turn and the power steering seized. The contact stated that she had pulled over to the side of the road and shut off the engine to regain power steering. The failure has occurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 87,503. Ddr.

When trying to make a turn on wet roadway (not a puddle of water) or trying to turn at a light for instance while it is raining, even at a low rate of speed, the power steering locks and the car will not continue to turn, causing traffic behind you to come to a screeching halt. After stopping the steering will slowly loosens up allowing you to complete the turn. I have had it checked out with my repair garage but they couldn't find anything. Since I am aware of this happening I'm very careful when making a turn in the rain. I'm thankful I wasn't on the interstate doing 60.

This northstar engine has leaked oil,(not burning it) since 40,000 miles. I use 2 or more quarts of oil between oil changes. It leaks whenever it is parked. I have spent monies on this, but it appears a major engine repair is needed. Some say, the bolts were too short, and others say, this defect continued until the 2006 year.
