I live in ga and last Friday I was coming home from work in the rain, I hit a big puddle and my car stalled out then came back on after I cleared the puddle, I checked underneath when I got home and there was nothing loose that I could see. This was the first time this has ever happened to me. My car is a 1996 Volvo 960 with 177,000 miles on it, it runs good but does have other electrical issues too.
