Every time it rains and creates a water puddle on the road, when i drive my car through it, water goes up under the car causing it to lose power, to momentarily shut down and i lose my steering. The battery light comes on as well. Also when i come to a stop the car starts shaking or vibrating and it seems like it wants to shut off. *tr
