Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1992 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MINI VAN. FRONT WHEEL DRIVE WITH A 3.3 ENGINE. EVERY TIME THE SERPENTINE BELT GETS THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF MOISTURE ON IT...IT COMES OFF! AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH WHICH REQUIRES PAYING A PRO TO REINSTALL IT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT ONE LOSES ALL POWER STEERING NOT MENTION ALL FUNCTIONS CONTROLLED BY THE BELT! THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME WAS IN RAIN ON A BUSY TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND I ALMOST FLIPPED THE VAN! IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND WITH IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAVE RELOCATED THE TENSIONER AND PULLEY ASSEMBLY WITH NO SATISFACTION. THE PROBLEM IS THAT CHRYSLER DESIGNED THESE MINI VANS WITH NO SHIELDS INSTALLED TO TURN MOISTURE FROM THE ENTIRE PULLEY SYSTEM (TOP OR BOTTOM) AND THE PULLEYS HAVE NO 'LIP' TO HOLD THE BELT IN PLACE ALLOWING IT TO SLIDE OFF WHEN WET! IS THERE NO WAY CHRYSLER CAN BE FORCED TO INSTALL AN OEM PRODUCT OR SHIELD TO PREVENT THIS AND SAVE LIVES? THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL CHRYSLER MINI VANS FROM APPRX. 1992-2007. *TR
