While driving on the freeway there was a loud popping sound from the rear passenger door window and the window suddenly dropped completely into the door and would not roll back up. 3 weeks later the front passenger door window did the exact same thing.

Without warning and for no reason the right side rear door window fell down into the door. There was a young child in the rear seat at the time. There should be a recall on this as it is a severe safety hazard. This car has very few miles for its age and should not be having these problems. Driver seat no longer will adjust and it cost too much for me to have repaired at this time.

During rainy periods while driving at a slow speed (20-30 mph) in parking lots or residential streets where water has pooled when i hit a deep (3-5 inches) puddle the power steering on my 2004 cadillac deville dts stops functioning for a period of 30-45 seconds. Because i am unable to steer my car i must come to a complete stop until the power steering recovers.

Water is splashing onto the engine belt that turns the power steering pump and that there is nothing that can be done without some sort of factory modification such as a splash guard to prevent the water from splashing onto the drive belt. *tr
