Consumer Description

SERPENTINE BELT DETACHES FROM TENSION PULLEY AND/OR IDLER PULLEY. DETACHED BELT CAUSES DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES, RADIATOR LINES, AND BREAKS IDLER PULLEY FROM BRACKET. POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ARE LOST MAKING VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. FLYING IDLER PULLEY MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE AND/OR FALLS TO ROADWAY AS HAZARD. DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION LINES MAY CAUSE FIRE. CAUSED BY UNEVEN WEAR TO THE PLASTIC BELT TENSIONER PULLEY. PLASTIC PULLEY DEFORMS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT TRAVELS FORWARD (TOWARD FAN) AND OFF OF PULLEY. A SIMILAR DEFECT (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 96I003000) WAS REMEDIED WITH A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY FORD IN 1996. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TO THAT STANDARD. THE STANDARD APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN INADEQUATE. *AK
