Due to a bad fuel pump vehicle was not receiving the proper feed of fuel to the carburetor, causing vehicle to shut off while driving. Dealer has been contacted. Starter failed.
After going through puddles everything would shut down or not work properly. Power steering is difficult/fan belt slips after getting wet/ alternator would quit working. Also, no protection cover to prevent water splashing. Taking to dealer to check out. Abs light keeps going off.
