This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1997 Cadillac Seville sts power steering failed while making a left turn. Steering effort increased instantly and caused the car to run off the road, no damage or injury fortunately as the speed was low. Steering to the right is comparatively normal but steering to the left requires as much force as I can muster, worse at slower speeds (such as parking or turning left form a stop or crawl). I did some research and found large numbers of Cadillac with the same problem and that it is not confined to them alone, in fact there seems to be a large quantity of GM products that have the same thing happen, some involving injury accidents.
