Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN A MODERATE RAIN STORM TODAY, 6.1.12, AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND FROZE AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A PUDDLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, BUT I DO NOT RECALL THE EXACT DATES SO I WILL REPORT TODAY'S DATE ONLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD EVENTUALLY FREE AND RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. ALSO, THERE IS A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE STEERING BLOCK AND UNDER THE HOOD WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE NOISES SOUNDS LIKE THE POWER STEERING BELTS ARE SLIPPING DUE TO BEING SOAKED WITH WATER. THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE, WE HAVE TWO KIDS. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN THE STATE OF FL WITH HEAVY, AND FREQUENT STORMS. THIS IS VERY TROUBLESOME AND SCARY AND I AM CONCERNED THIS LOSS OF STEERING WILL LEAD TO A CRASH. *TR
