My power steering was not responding, my power brakes were gone. I had to step on my ebrake and take an emergency truck runoff. It was NOT fun!

My alternator needed to be replaced along with the belt. Thank god everything was covered by warranty because the bill was $1500 USD.

If your car is under warranty take it in for a diagnostic!

Artem I know the feeling once I had a belt break on the W202 no power anything... I was going 120 on the highway around a bend lucky I drove the old lada niva before and knew what it was like to drive with no power steering... w202 with no power stearing = Arnold the govenator in no time.

I also had the alternator fail but basically what happens is one day you go to start your car and it wont so you probally replace the battery thinking the battery is shot but then a few day later it wont start again.

Due to the fact he was drifting around maybe its simple like something is loose like a battery terminal or the battery is not secured down.

That's a good point actually! LOL at the Lada Niva! I drove and still drive quite a few back home! They are perfect for hunting!

i like making tracks in fresh snow, not perfecting the already made ones.
