Consumer Description

SERPENTINE BELT FLIES OFF WITH A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE. BOTH WIFE AND I HAVE DRIVEN OUR 1998 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN WET WEATHER AND THE SERPENTINE BELT HAS COME OFF NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO HIT A PUDDLE, THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF WATER SPLASHING FROM ANOTHER CAR WILL CAUSE IT TO COME OFF. BELT FALLING OFF CAUSES POWER STEERING, COOLING, AND CHARGING TO FAIL RESULTING IN SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. *TR
