| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1) driving normally through water several inches deep - certainly not an unusual situation considering the amount of afternoon storms we have received this summer in middle georgia. 2) serpentine belt slips from pulleys causing lose of power steering, water pump, air conditioning, alternator. on first occasion and with great difficulty, my wife was able to pull over and avoid a collision. 3) belt appeared undamaged but i replaced belt with new approved belt. the same thing happened on august 22, 2005 while i was driving on georgia 87 (rural highway) in a severe downpour/thunderstorm. the rain and storm conditions were so loud i did not notice the temperature gage, indicator lights and warning-buzzer warning me of some engine failure. i was able to drive to an intersection and pull out of traffic, again with great difficulty due to power steering failure. ultimately, people will lose lives over this issue if they have not already. there are many of these issues posted all over the internet. please pursue this issue so someone's life can be saved. *jb |
