Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING ON WET ROADS THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS IS THE NORM NOT THE EXCEPTION. IT WAS REPLACED ONCE AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES ANT NOW IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. I WOULD NOT LET MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE,IF THE STEERING WAS TO GO OUT IT IS TOO HEAVY FOR THEM TO REGAIN CONTROL. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE OF MINIVAN AND THEY SAY IT HAS HAPPENNED WITH THEM TOO. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY IN WET WEATHER,BUT I CAN COUNT ON IT GOING OUT IF I DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE. *AK
