The texting and driving,needs to stop
My 2004 seville loses all power steering, and I lose control of the vehicle do to the lack of being able to steer the vehicle. Now I have been experience problems with my service stability light coming on after these occurrences when driving in any wet conditions! , I could have been killed due to this defect on several occasions. I now refuse to drive my car in or after rain. Obviously, this causes frequent problems for me both personally and business wise. I have also find it really unfair do to paying 50,000+ for a vehicle with less then 90,000 miles on it to have such problems. The car has been and stays maintained regularly.
My 2004 cadillac seville loses all power steering when driving in any wet conditions! But for the grace of god, I could have been killed due to this defect on several occasions. I now refuse to drive my car in or after rain. Obviously, this causes frequent problems for me both personally and business wise. I've been told that this make and model has no splash guard. Too bad I wasn't informed of this prior to purchasing. Anyone else had this problem? Comments and solutions are welcomed. Gm nor the cadillac dealer have been any help. My family has my blessings to sue if & when I die from it! :( [xxx] in florida information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The driver seat moves back and forth anyway from a quarter of an inch to an inch. I am told by the serving dealer and cadillac customer service representative that this is a normal characteristic for 2004 cadillac seville. With enough moving back and forth the seat latches have the potential for breakage.
