MY POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AT LEAST 4-5 DAYS A WEEK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I CAN NOT TURN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT USING ALL OF MY UPPER BODY STRENGTH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO TRAFFIC. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND CADILLAC WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS. I HAVE CONTACT MY CADILLAC DEALER AND CADILLAC DIRECTLY. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK FROM ME. I CAN NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL SAFE.

ON 3/17/2019 I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION STATING A RECALL FOR LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, AND THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THOUGH AS THE DOCUMENTATION I HAVE PROVIDED STATES THE FOLLOWING: "A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING SLOW SPEEDS OR AROUND CURVES CAN EASILY CAUSE A CRASH".
