Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On a number of occasions when i star out and it happened to or is raining i have had the power steering locked up. after i believe the belt to dry it is okay. at one time it locked up in a turn and it takes superman to steer. this could be the cause of an accident. i believe that at one time i read that the nhtsa board was talking about this but cadillac did not correspond to the boards complaint. this is a definitely a safety problem that could probably solved by some type of cover. *nlm
