urbex Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 Ok, so after work today I get in my car, and it's been raining, right? Well there's a huge puddle (well not deep, just big) a few feet away between me and the stop sign. I have to drive through it, and I always do. Probably going between 5-10mph and I stop at the stop sign at the other end of the puddle. Go to take off, the car won't turn left. Steering wheel turned left (but it wouldn't turn all the way) but when I started moving the car just went straight. Also the belt sounded like it may have slipped or something, it made a chirp noise once. Straitened the wheel out, tried again and it went like nothing was wrong. Never did anything abnormal on the rest of the way home. WTF I've never heard of such a thing! Any ideas if I should check for something? Could something have broken that I should look for? Or just leave it be and see if it ever does it again? Last thing I would want is to find out I had something break and it'll break again while driving... Quote
BXX Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 The serp belt got wet, and was slipping. Slipping means the PS pump wasnt wasnt turning which means no or very little power assist. /thread. Quote

Addicted to eaton Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 did you remove the splash shield on the passenger side? Quote
urbex Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Posted August 6, 2011 No, but it's funny you mention that... I did just screw with it a few days ago to try and get a better look at the crank position sensor... So there's a possibility that I didn't reattach it right, or missed a screw on it or something... I'll have to go check it out. Thanks! Quote
Jprice90 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 in my Neon this was a big problem, it was my first car, i remember hitting a puddle right on this corner that was very sharp, almost went into a car that was at the stop sign..very dangerous Quote
