Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN. THE POWER STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY IN THE RAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE POWER ASSIST COMES AND GOES QUICKLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO JERK THE WHEEL WHEN THE PWER ASSIST RETURNS. I REPLACED THE SERPENTINE BELT TWO MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. I HAVE OVER 30 YEARS OF AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS DANGEROUS. THERE IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE POWER ASSIST BELT, TENSIONER OR A PULLEY. THIS IS NOT THE OTHER CONCERN WITH THE CLUNKING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. *TR
