I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SLS THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2004.... THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED ON IT APPROX. A YEAR OR SO AGO BUT APPROX. A MONTH AGO, WE HAD A HEAVY RAIN AND I WAS ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE STEERING GOT REAL TIGHT AND INSTEAD OF TURNING RIGHT INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE, I HAD TO GO INTO THE LEFT LANE WHERE ONCOMING CARS ARE BUT, LUCKILY, THERE WASN'T A CAR COMING IN THAT LANE. THE STEERING GOT VERY STIFF. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL WHEN IT RAINS, IT IS A RISK AS FAR AS SAFETY IS CONCERNED. I GAVE $51,000 FOR THE CAR NEW. *TR
