I was driving on a two lane highway and I suddenly lost control of the steering wheel. The steering wheel became very hard to maneuver causing me to veer out of my lane causing a crash. The airbags also did not deploy fully causing me to have a dislocated shoulder and broken ribs. The car also caught on fire during impact and I had to be pulled from the vehicle. The recall regarding the steering wheel locking up on me is most likely the reason I lost control of the vehicle.

My vehicle stops running when I am placing it in reverse or making slow turns. The car turns off and the driver assist screen turns off (cameras do not work) and then my car says 'service: driver assist'. I have been driving at a low rate of speed on the street and my car stops running and the steering wheel becomes very tight and hard to turn. When I am backing into a parking space, my steering wheel is hard to turn and the car shuts off and the screen that shows my cameras goes out and then the car comes back on. It is very scary. I am very afraid that the car will stop running while in motion again and cause an accident. I have contacted onstar about this and requested roadside assistance, it was the weekend and they would not send them. The car turning off has occurred more than 7 times in the past month. It started in april 2020.

I purchased a certified pre-owned 2015 cadillac escalade from a dealer in san diego. I have put approx 5k miles on the vehicle in the 6 months that I've owned it. It has been back at the dealer for service four times (approx 30 days total the dealer has had the car) for the same issue, which is a shuddering, hard-shift and vibration issue with the transmission. There have been no repairs that have remedied the issue. The dealer continues to follow a protocol procedure each time, none of which have worked. I have contacted general motors and will also be proceeding with a lemon law claim.
