When driving thru puddles during rain, water splashes on the serpentine accessory drive belt, causing the power steering pump pulley to slip and loss of steering control. The service manager a the dealership where I bought the van said there was no way to tighten the belt. This has happened four times and luckely the speed has been slow and the steering came back after a few seconds.

This incident happened, and steering is lost. Consumer said that he will call the dealership. The dealer said replace belt should correct this problem.
