Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The serpentine belt on my 1999 dodge caravan keeps coming off. especially when it rains. the belt has been replaced several times. the idler pulley has been replaced. the belt tensioner has been replaced. an engine bracket for the idler pulley has been replaced. when the belt comes off , power steering is lost which makes it hard to control the van. if i was not a fairly strong person i would have hit a semi-truck at the last incident. my wife could not have controlled it. there is an after market fix for the problem through goodyear or gates. chrysler does not have a fix for it. below is the latest incident. it has happened five times in the last two years. *nm
