Every time someone drives through a tiny bit of water on any road, at any speed, the power steering cuts out for like 30 seconds. loose all ability to safely maneuver off the road. we have to avoid driving this vehicle on rainy days because we never know if we are going to lose steering. it seems like possibly the belt gets wet and slips or possibly something electrical. when this happens all of the dummy lights on the dash start flickering as well. it happens only when the vehicle is in motion on wet road conditions, it happens at highway speed or city speeds as well. this has happened 4 times in the last 2 months.

While driving on the highway my vehicle started accelerating on its own and kept climbing to higher speeds reaching 100mph and greater, even while pressing the breaks the vehicle still accelerated on its own. finally after reaching a safe area to do so i had to switch the vehicle to neutral, once slow enough i then placed the vehicle into park and shut it off immediately as it was still revving and the engine began to smoke a little. from there i had my vehicle towed to lithia hyundai, i was too scared to turn it back on. thank goodness my children were not in the car and thank goodness i did not have to cross any intersections. *dt
