Greetings to all,

I am a first time poster here. My wife has a 96 Grand Am, we have
had relatively few problems with it and it has been a great car for
us. Today was another story. While I was driving I stopped to make a
u turn, when I did the car stalled suddenly. I restarted it with no
problem, however the power steering was gone and there was a red
battery indicator on the dashboard that was on. Realizing there was a
problem I began driving to a spot where I could safely stop the car.
While I was driving, which was no more than half a mile and a few
minutes I noticed the temp gauge climbing dangerously high. I stopped,
turned the car off and got out to find there was coolant leaking from
where appeared to be the overflow. I also noticed that the belt that
passes through the alternator was seriously loose, as in I could
remove it was little effort if I needed to.

That is where we stand.

I know that it not alot of info, but any ideas?

Thank you to any and all who can reply.

Jamie
