What owners wrote
Steering wheel locks after a 90 degree left/90 degree right turns, locks on second turn, causes loss of steering control, caused accident; also rear ABS brakes groan/vibrate, causing lack of braking power, decrease in stopping distance.
The serpentine belt that runs the car jumped off track the first monday in october when it was raining. I first noticed my power steering went out. Then a few minutes later it over heated. So when I got under the hood to find out what the problem was, it was the belt it was not broken just off track. Had it fixed. The same thing happened again on october 25, 2003 some 3-4 weeks later. Again it was raining.
