Consumer Description

WHENEVER IT IS RAINING OR I DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE GROUND, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS AND THE CAR SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. I'VE CONCLUDED THAT THIS MUST BE SOME SORT OF SERPENTINE BELT ISSUE AS A LOT OF COMPONENTS ARE AFFECTED AT ONCE SUCH AS ALTERNATOR, POWER STEERING ETC. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN MY OPINION AS ONSET IS UNPREDICTABLE ESPECIALLY IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS SUCH AS RAINING AND FOR THIS REASON I DREAD DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT RAINS. PLEASE SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN!!! *TR
