| At first, the car wasn't running straight. when i drove straight on an interstate, the steering wheel was about five degrees clockwise. therefore, i went to the local cadillac dealer, mike raisor, for a wheel alignment. after the alignment, the car ran pretty good, until it ran over a small bump on the road. when i ran over the bump, the car suddenly ran toward the right. i tried to turn left, but it didn't work for about half a second. after half a second, i controlled the car, and it worked fine. i made an u turn, and went to that place again, and it happened again. i went home, grab my meter and my thermometer, and went back to that place. the road temperature was 33.1 degrees, and there was no ice on the road. the bump was about 4 inches over the road. i took the car to the dealer next day, and they checked almost everything. however, they're unable to identify the problem. | |||

| We were leaving a diner parking lot in the afternoon, when i had to stop for a delivery truck blocking our exit. when the truck pulled forward i lightly pressed the accelerator and the car began to surge forward and to our left(my wife was in the car with me). i pressed down on the brakes and the car continued forward and began to turn to the right and i tried to steer the car to the left but the steering did not respond resulting in my hitting two parked cars. i had the car towed to the cadillac dealer. the dealer indicated that there was nothing wrong with the car and suggested that the surge was caused my a secondary car mat but could not explain the steering problem. this same situation occurred during our severe snow storm last winter. at the time i assumed it was due to icing conditions on the road and my dealer indicated that they had reset the car codes to correct any errors(stability control light stayed on) | |||
