WHEN DRIVING IN WET WEATHER, I LOSE MY POWER STEERING, WHICH CAUSES ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, THIS CAN BE MINIMUM PUDDLES ON THE ROAD. I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY MONTE CARLO. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND I AM GETTING NO SATISFACTION. THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, FOR IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR
