Description of the problem	This has been going on for 2 years and i have contacted and gone to dealership with no satisfaction. While driving in wet conditions, the steering wheel will lock up, battery light will come on, car sometimes stalls and there is a high pitch squeal near right front wheel. I have read and printed many reports from online complaints where customers are saying same thing happens to them. I also have video that i took this morning on the way to work to document what happens because trying to recreate the problem at a dealership by spraying water on it does not help. I showed a co-worker the video this morning and he said for me to keep it because if something happens to me while driving in the rain, perhaps this will help the lawsuit. I reported this originally in 2017 but has occurred every time i drive in the rain. This morning was the most recent and i fear for my safety driving this car. Does someone need to get killed before anything gets addressed???

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
