2006 Chrysler Town and Country 6 cyl Automatic 46000 miles

This is an intermittent problem and has only happened a few times over the past 6 months.

It only happens during extremely wet weather and I am fairly certain that it has only happened when I have the lights on and the AC/heater is also usually running.

Without any warning, the power steering and power brakes go out. When this has happened, I have been barely able to avoid an accident because I am usually near my home traveling at low speeds. I am greatly concerned about this happening while I traveling at highway speeds.

Thanks Docfixit

I have also done other research since submitting this request and will look into water draining from the windshield onto a belt in the engine compartment. This looks promising and if it proves to not be the problem then I will look into your suggestions. Thank you for your input.
