Description of the problem	While driving in the rain, our kia rondo decides to act like it stalls out putting all the dash lights on and loosing control over the steering. Serpentine belt screeches and all comes back like nothing happened. This condition only happens in the rain. We replaced the serpentine belt and it was ok for a full year and now its back again. Local repair shop replaced the belt. Exactly one year later the local repair shop cannot reenact the problem. They literally doused the belt with water to test the steering loss. Kia customer service cannot find any common issues with the vehicle. Very dangerous as the car does this right after hitting a small puddle.
