MY 2004 SEVILLE LOSES ALL POWER STEERING, AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DO TO THE LACK OF BEING ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH MY SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT COMING ON AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES WHEN DRIVING IN ANY WET CONDITIONS! , I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN OR AFTER RAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CAUSES FREQUENT PROBLEMS FOR ME BOTH PERSONALLY AND BUSINESS WISE. I HAVE ALSO FIND IT REALLY UNFAIR DO TO PAYING 50,000+ FOR A VEHICLE WITH LESS THEN 90,000 MILES ON IT TO HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS BEEN AND STAYS MAINTAINED REGULARLY. *TR
