| Description of the problem | While driving in wet conditions, the battery indicator light and the brake indicator light illuminated in the display. Power steering failed, and the vehicle was difficult to maneuver to safety. The headlights and dashlight power was significantly reduced. After coming to a stop without steering power, the emergency brake was engaged and disengaged without a change in the illuminator light. The car was hesitant to move - grinding noise and major difficulty turning the steering wheel. This happened on two different occasions during similar weather/road conditions. |
