#2 of 10 Stiff steering at low speeds by lafrance Jan 12, 2006 (11:46 am)
My 2002 Deville has very stiff low speed steering. Worse when it is cold. Local mechanic says this is a common problem with this car and VERY expensive to correct.Must replace entire steering rack. Anyone else have this problem? Replies to this message: joe771476 (Jan 19, 2006 1:50 pm) ctsavage (Apr 04, 2007 2:30 pm) phil14904 (Nov 06, 2006 11:37 am)

My 2001 DHS started giving me problems turning left i.e. very stiff turning. Dealer said it was a valve in the steering rack and that it couldn't be fixed except to replace the whole steering rack. The options were an aftermarket rack for half the price of a new replacement but the mechanic said another owner had gone this route and had come back several times with the same problem. I chose an original equipment steering rack which was very expensive and as the car was out of warranty despite only having 40,000 miles on it, I had to pay this myself. Only a few thousand miles on it since then and so far so good.

Replying to: joe771476 (Jan 19, 2006 1:50 pm) I have a 1998 Cadillac and the steering just "went". I had the oil changed at Jiffy Lube, drove a few miles and the steering wheel disenguaged completely. I had to have the car towed. I live in the Atlanta area. Is there anywhere that you know of that specializes in fixing these problems?

I have a 1998 Deville that the steering was difficult to turn to the left. This existed for about 6 months. Recently, the steering column "broke". I was unable to steer the car. Is there some recourse that I can take? I see that this has happened to at least 179 other GM autos. Replies to this message: rick201m (May 01, 2008 12:59 pm) gizmoejoe (Jun 22, 2008 11:46 am)

Replying to: ctsavage (Apr 04, 2007 2:32 pm) Did you ever find out if there was a recall on this problem? I have it too. Replies to this message: gizmoejoe (Jun 22, 2008 11:46 am)
#9 of 10 2004 Deville DHS Steering issues in wet weather-water splashing up on belt by gizmoejoe Jun 22, 2008 (11:44 am)
I have a 2004 DHS when driving during rain or going thru small puddles the water seem to splash up on the drive belts or the serpentine belt. I had this same issue with a 1993 STS. Is there a fix for this?

Replying to: rick201m (May 01, 2008 12:59 pm) I checked with the dealer, and they say others have reported it, but it is like they do not want to address it. So far I have not had any luck there.
