Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY CONDITIONS (NOTE: WET ROAD, NOT HIGH WATER), POWER STEERING FAILED AND VAN WAS UNCONTROLABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2X IN THE PAST YEAR. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, AS WATER CAN GET TO THE POWER STEERING BELT. THEY OFFERED NO SOLUTION. I NEARLY RAN INTO A DITCH AS I WAS UNABLE TO STEER. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, BUT THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN RAINY CONDITIONS.
