1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

2006 Cadillac Srx turn signals burn out within months or replacement. I made 2 videos of me fixing it, put on youtube with over 35, 000 views. That must mean there are lots of folks with this problem that don't know where to report it. While driving, the indicator flashes a bit faster than it should - the only clue it isn't working. You think other drivers know your intentions and they don't. This is dangerous. Mechanics have to pull the bumper, a bit of work, and want over $300 to change the bulb. Over and over again. This is the 5th time in 3 years. 2nd problem is the "stability system" - well, I'm not driving on ice, have never needed such a thing. This one nearly cause me to crash into a curb or parked car as I was making a left hand turn in our residential neighborhood at what 15 mph? suddenly the wheel locked, tires locked and sent me screeching dangerously close to that parked car. It does have a warning, "service stability system" but the dealer will want a lot for that, too. So I've resorted to pushing the disable button on the console until it says, "stability system off" then I can drive safely. I have not had this inspected. Everything that gets fixed on this Cadillac seems to break again.
