| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving in the rain, not standing water or high water, my 97 chrysler town and country started overheating. not knowing what was wrong, i pulled over and let it cool off and attempted to restart my trip. this continued every 1/2 mile and finally i had no power steering. trying to get to a filling station, it finally just died. after having it towed, staying in a hotel and taking a cab to work, the mechanic told me my serpentine belt just came off. he replaced it. he stated that this has been known to be happening with these vans and for additional money and labor costs i could have a "kit" installed and will hopefully prevent this problem from continually happening. the kit he spoke about was a belt that is ribbed on both sides and replacement of a pulley. if this is a known problem then chrysler should recall and replace this free of charge. *jb |
