Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES DURING HEAVY RAIN MY CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE BATTERY AND EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR (EL CAJON, CA) AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENED WHEN TURNING OR DRIVING THROUGH LARGE PUDDLES. STEERING SHAFT WOULD LOCK UP AND ON OCCASION A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING SOUND COULD BE HEARD. VERY UNSAFE AND VERY SCARY!
