Problem overview

Some Cadillac DTS owners report experiencing sudden loss of power steering fluid, resulting in stiff steering. This issue is often attributed to low power steering fluid levels caused by leaks in the system. Additionally, small fluid leaks can make turning the steering wheel difficult, while damaged power steering pumps may also contribute to fluid loss and affect steering performance. Owners who have recently had power steering hoses replaced may find their stiff steering issues are related to those repairs. To address these concerns, it is advised to check the power steering fluid level, inspect the system for visible leaks or damage, and consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis to prevent further damage and ensure safe vehicle operation.
