After going through a small puddle, serp belt slips, lose power steering, cant hardly control car. If it happened with my wife driving in traffic could be very bad. Went to beard Chevrolet a month ago (this has been happening several mos) and was told it's normal, and in new cars they went to electric ps because of it. That doesnt console me with an otherwise perfectly running car. I had replaced the tensioner and serp belt already before going to the dealer.

It was raining and lost power steering at speed. This has continued each time it has rained or going through a car wash. Very dangerous because the car will not turn. This type of incident has occurred more than 50 times and the dealership only laughed at me when I called. Is chevy waiting till my family is killed before noticing this issue like with the other recent recalls.
I was driving my 2008 Chevrolet Impala and was backing out of a parking space, so my tires were turned at an angle. When backing up, I lost all power steering making it very hard to turn the wheel. Once I backed out and put the car in drive the steering began to work again. I checked power steering fluid but it was not low. This problem happens fairly regularly.
