On certain vehicles, the nut securing the pulley for the power steering hydraulic pump can become loose due to inadequate processing of the pulley. If this problem is left unattended, the pulley can come off the pump, in which case, the charge warning light is illuminated, steering becomes heavier, and the water pump stops functioning resulting in overheat, which causes the vehicle to stall.
