Description of the problem | At a stoplight on an overpass the car shut off and wouldn't restart for 10 minutes. After it restarted and we continued to drive and get on the highway. The car shutoff while driving 60 mph on the highway. Power steering was completely lost. We were able to coast to the side of the highway. After 5 minutes or so car restarted. There was a cadillac dealer within 10 miles so we continued on to try and get there. The car shutoff again getting off the highway on the exit ramp and again lost power steering. Again waited for 5 minutes the car restarted. Same thing happened pulling into the dealer parking lot. We were lucky there wasn't much traffic on the highway or i would imagine we could have very likely caused a bad accident with the car shutting off at 60 mph with no steering. We were in a rural area where the highway death toll is high. I have read numerous cases of other escalade owners having this same problem. |
