Consumer Description

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER DRIVING MY 1999 MERCURY SABLE STATION WAGON IN MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN, I LOSE POWER STEERING DURING TURNS. THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO EXCESSIVE BELT SLIPPAGE FROM WATER. IT GOES AWAY IF I STOP FOR A FEW SECONDS TO LET THE BELT REGAIN TRACTION. THIS CONDITION OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY IS A RISK TO LOSS OF CONTROL DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT POWER STEERING. *JB
