Loss of power steering and power brake assisted when going through shallow puddle. Battery light went on and off. Engine light went on and off. At the time of the incident, it was raining and the road was wet with some puddle in the road. When I have to use the right lane to make right or left turn, I have to go through some water that ponded along the gutter line, the steering seize on me and required forceful turn. Brake paddle was hard to press and did not stop the vehicle appropriately.
