Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A HIGHWAY. WITH OUT WARNING MY STEERING LOCKS UP, MY BATTERY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON. ALONG WITH THIS MY CARS TEMP GOES THROUGH THE ROOF. THIS IS HAPPENING AT 65 MPH ITS 3 AM I CAN NO LONGER SEE OR CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THANKS TO MY SKILLED DRIVING I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR I'VE HAD A PROFESSIONAL LOOK AT IT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT DO OVER THAN REPLACE PARTS AND DO TRIAL AND ERROR. IM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN THE RAIN BUT ITS NOT ME THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT OR KILLED DUE TO MY STEERING LOCKING UP. *TR
