Consumer Description

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DURING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS RAINING, DAMP, OR SNOWING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR FOR NO REASON IT LOSES POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 20 TIMES. THIS IS A DEFECT. I AM REPORTING, BECAUSE I REALIZE THIS NEEDED TO BE REPORTED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER HAS OCCURRED WITH THE ORIGINAL BATTERY, AS WELL AS TWO OTHER BATTERIES OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR. IT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICALLY RELATED. THE LOSS OF POWER RESULTS IN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AND NO POWER. LUCKILY, EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MILES PER HOUR. IF THIS EVER OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
