Whenever it rains and I drive in a puddle of water my serpentine belt comes off, causing my car to have no power steering and my battery light comes on. Everytime this happens I go to my mechanic and he has to manually put the belt back on. The mechanic tells me he doesn't know why this keeps happening and doesn't know how to fix it because he's inspected my vehicle and can't find anything wrong.
