Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING OVER A BIG PUDDLE OF WATER THE STEERING BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. DISPLAY PANEL SAID "CHECK BATTERY". SLOWED DOWN AND FINALLY PULLED OVER. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WAS FINE. WENT DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND HIT A BIG PUDDLE. STEERING AGAIN BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. LUCKILY NOT MANY CARS AROUND AND I WAS ON A SIDE STREET. MECHANIC CAN NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RAIN LATELY TO TRY AND DUPLICATE. I FEAR A MAJOR OR FATAL ACCIDENT IS FORTH COMING. *TR
