I bought this car used and have only had it a few weeks but about five times now I have had the power steering quit when driving in the rain. It returns in seconds but I am disabled and it is very difficult for me to control the car. Luckily, this has only happened at low speeds. I'm afraid of being killed. I have since read that this is a well known problem. In all seriousness, do folks have to die before gm fixes the problem?

I took my cadillac in for a recall on my keys. Then the dealership inspected my car and told me I have a badly worn right front tie rod that needs to be replaced at a cost of $6,000. I do not feel that there is anything wrong with my car, but have not had a second opinion. What can be done about this??

Vehicle cuts off at random times while in motion. The car ignition cuts off all power to the engine and power steering when the car hits a bump, railroad track, or pothole. Bumping the column cover will also cut off the engine, and the power steering. The vehicle has had the key modification which would appear to have no affect on the problem of the ignition randomly rotating out of the on position.
