When I turn sharply as in a parking lot, it feels like something shakes under the front of my car, and it feels like I am running over gravel. Something also makes a sort of rattling sound. I have had it looked at and was told they saw nothing.

Any message like traction active? It could be unwanted abs activation that occurred on your year and model. The fix was running seperate wheel speed harnesses to the ebcm, outside of the vehicle harness, and away from secondary ignition wires. The science behind this was to eliminate potential for any electromagnetic interference. This only applied to the front sensors. I suppose you could disconnect the right and left front sensors and see if the problem can be reproduced. You will get an abs light, and the antilock system will not function during this, but it may lead to a process of elimination. Otherwise, have it checked. A GM or Cadillac dealer will have the service bulletin information on this.
