| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When driving in wet conditions and making a right hand turn from a stopped position, power steering is lost and engine power is reduced. also, dashboard warning lights illuminate. this loss of power and steering while entering traffic is alarming! it is obvious that the belt is slippling due to the moisture being sprayed up from the passenger side wheel well. i have inspected the belt and it is in fine condition. there is no manual adjustment for the belt tensioner (spring loaded). this problem started at 24,000 miles. i have searched the internet and have seen another similar complaint. i belive that this problem must be reviewed before someone loses steering while entering traffic and is killed! i realize that replacing the belt may make the problem go away, however, this is an obviou. *ak |
