Consumer Description

ON MY WIFE'S 1998 DODGE CARAVAN, THE IDLER SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER ARM COMPLETELY BROKE OFF CAUSING ALOT OF NOISE UNDER THE HOOD, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND LOSS OF ALTERNATOR BATTERY RECHARGE. IT ALSO CAUSED SOME DAMAGE TO THE OTHER PULLEYS. I'VE OWNED MANY CARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON OTHER MAKES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN LEAVE ANYBODY IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE.*AK
