The contact owns a 2013 Cadillac Xts. While driving approximately 25 mph, the power steering suddenly malfunctioned and caused the steering wheel to seize. The driver was unable to turn the steering wheel in either direction. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 57,000. Consumer stated steering wheel locked up while driving. Happened twice and took the car to the dealer. Service dept told the consumer the engine was cracked causing engine to misfire causing steering to lock up. Consumer took it to the putman Chevrolet Cadillac was running when the steering wheel locked up. They replaced a cracked boot that ran from the air filter housing to the throttle body. This resulted in the engine light remaining off after they cleared the code and the stalling problem was corrected.
