#5 of 11 Re: stiff steering by dhs1 Nov 10, 2006 (12:02 pm)
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 12:50 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 11:59 am) gizmoejoe (Jun 22, 2008 10:46 am)

Replying to: ctsavage (Apr 04, 2007 1:32 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 10:46 am)
#9 of 11 2004 Deville DHS Steering issues in wet weather-water splashing up on belt by gizmoejoe Jun 22, 2008 (10:44 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? Replies to this message: allen041 (Nov 12, 2009 3:55 pm)

Replying to: rick201m (May 01, 2008 11:59 am) 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.

Replying to: gizmoejoe (Jun 22, 2008 10:44 am) Have a 2004 DeVille that has developed a steering problem within the last 18 months. Whenever it rains heavily or the roads are very wet, the steering totally locks up when making turns. No amount of turning will relieve this problem for a few very anxious moments. However, turning the ignition off will immediately relieve the problem. Eventually, the problem will resolve itself until the next incident. Any suggestions from out there?
