Consumer Description

DURING WET WEATHER, THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO SHUT DOWN AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STEER THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER JUST STARTING OUT AND DRIVING THRU A SMALL PUDDLE OF WATER AND AFTER A FEW MILES SEEMS TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THIS IS THE SAME COMPLAINT I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHER OWNERS AND NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE HAD ONE CLOSE CALL, HOW EVER DO TO THE LOW SPEED WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN TIME. SOMEHOW WATER MUST BE GETTING INTO THE STEERING COMPONENTS. *TR
