While driving through puddles the single drive belt consistently slips losing powersteering, AC and alternator function. The belt does come back on line, but the loss of power steering has resulted in the safety problem of several near crashes. If my wife had been driving she would not have been able to control the vehicle. The vehicle can not be driven with assurance and safety during rain storms.

The smog pump blows the fuse, the cooling fans and check engine light comes on. The dealership charged nearly $500.00 to replace the pump, wiring, and fuse. They fixed the problem using bigger rated wire and fuse, which usually means original parts were not addequate. I am going to contact gm's corporate offices about this problem. If the t.s.b. Calls for fixing the problem with bigger rated wire and fuse, then gm knows it is possibly a design defect. I think this should be under a recall or an emissions warranty of some kind.
