Consumer Description

IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD AND THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS AROUND 70. I MAY HAVE DRIVEN THRU A PUDDLE JUST BEFORE I TURNED MY CAR , AS I TURNED MY STEERING FROZE UP, LIKE I LOST POWER STEERING ONLY WORSE, I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MY CAR SO I HAD TO STOP MY CAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STEERING AGAIN. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE STEERING PROBLEMS WENT WAY. THIS STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR WHENEVER IT'S VERY WET OUTSIDE, WHEN IT'S RAINING HARD. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A AUTO MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE BELTS AND STEERING FLUID AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. *TT
