Consumer Description

THE CAR WHILE DRIVING, THROUGH RAIN OR RECENTLY RAINED ON ROADS GOING THROUGH LARGE UNAVOIDABLE PUDDLES, CAUSES WATER TO SPLASH UP ON THE SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT CAUSING IT TO SLIP, 15-20MPH WHEN IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN. THIS CAUSES AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT MAKING THE CAR DIFFICULT TO STEER AND COULD BE QUITE DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS SHOULD IT HAPPEN. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANOTHER CAR. A REMOVABLE PLATE SHOULD BE FIXED TO THE BOTTOM SIDE UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO PREVENT THIS. *JS
