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

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.

Was driving 60mph while going around a corner on a highway and the power steering failed. Almost caused us to wreck but was luckily able to regain control. This issue should be investigated and a recall issued. Pulled into a shop when we get into town and fluid is full, it's now at the dealer being diagnosed.

Loss of power steering while driving through dangerous terrain. Multiple times on all types of roadways. Whole package is leaking and dealer states that the power steering rack, pump and lines need replacement along with alignment, vehicle now has 83000 miles on it. Cost per the dealer is around $2800. Mostly noticed while braking and attempting to turn steering wheel. Can regain steering by releasing brake and accelerating. Speed does not matter as it happens both from stand up to 70 miles per hour. Direction does not matter as it seizes up turning both to the left and right. Not safe for travel especially with occupants.
