Steering problem #1

This has actually happened several times with this car. When I hit a patch of water, the steering wheel locks up temporarily and I'm unable to maneuver. If I'm on a corner I have to hit the brakes to avoid an accident.

Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem #2

Less than a month after I bought my car, the brakes needed replacement. Less than a month after that incident, my brakes again needed replacement. Two months later, my brakes again needed work. My car failed its yearly inspection due to tie rods. The transmission and the brakes continue to give me problems.
