I was driving on the highway. I drove into some water on the road and lost steering. The wheel became very very hard to steer. Then it happened a few more time on the highway. Tonight, driving home in the rain and went threw a puddle of water on the road. Lost steering ability and had to stop the car in the middle of the road. I could not make my turn for the steering was some hard. I also noticed that the charging light came on as well when I went threw this puddle of water. The should be a recall a.s.a.p. This should not happen

While driving vehicle, the vehicle steering wheel started to lock or stalling while taking a turn. Initially this was a rarely occurrence. So I went to an auto shop to make sure that steering fluid is at its proper levels; it was. Then a week later, the steering started to lock frequently while taking a right or left turn. I then went to another mechanical shop for a second opinion and they found nothing. Just yesterday(2/9/2019), my vehicle stared to hum and the steering wheel once again tried to lock on me while making another turn and almost caused me 2 accidents on a major road. I was then told to look up to see if there's any recalls on my vehicle and I found nothing but I did find the exact same issues that my saturn is experiencing currently from previous recalls

1) steering went out during a heavy rain going down the road. Lost steering. Very scary. Happened with four kids in the car going over a bridge! Took it to a car repair shop and they did not see a problem while looking at belt. It has happened a handful of times in very heavy raining which I try to avoid since that happened. 2) airbag light on. Just wonder if it is due to the water that pours in through the known defective sunroof tubes? During rains, water trickling through airbag compartments as well as water throughout vehicle. How come these sunroof tubes are not recalled????

Upon driving vehicle attempted to parallel park and without warning power steering was lost almost causing an accident. Vehicle was taken to dealer where the pressure hose was to be replaced at $500. Momentarily regained power with loud noises while turning. Service center replaced pump at $700+ and I still have no power steering. Now I may have to replace rack and pinions. I have a large family and afraid to travel with them in the vehicle at all.
