2009 BUICK LUCERNE Steering Problems

I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING WHEN ITS IS RAINING AND WET OUTSIDE. I GO THROOUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IT LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS , BUT TOSE FEW SECONDS COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS HEAVY.THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL TO PARK I LOST POWER AND ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR, I HAD TO WRESTLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN IT AND PARK THE CAR. I WAS TERRIFIED.
