Consumer Description

ANY TIME THERE IS WATER ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING MY CAR LOSES STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES. DOESN'T MATER IF IT IS A SMALL PUDDLE OR A LARGE ONE, EVEN IF JUST DAMP ON ROAD. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AND A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE HAPPENS. LIKE THE CAR IS STALLING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE SHIELD IS IN PLACE AND THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING THEY PLACED THE BELT TENSIONER AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES.
