| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The serpentine belt has fallen off the car 3 different times. the first time it broke, i was out of town. the other 2 times it fell off in town. all 3 times i had just driven through an unavoidable deep puddle during a heavy thunderstrom. the car immediately loast power steering and the engine overheated. i had to quickly pull off the road. luckily i was on neighborhood streets each time, but just as easily could have been on the highway - which could have been deadly. also, each time i had a car full of children and twice it was at night. after the third time (and third tow/repair), the repair shop found the service bulletin from chrysler. the van had a bracket already in place, but it replaced again anyway. i think this problem is very dangerous and should be a recall, not service bulletin. |
