Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE CARAVAN THAT I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE SERP BELT 8 TIMES AND THE TENSIONER 3 TIMES AND THE BELT JUST CAME OFF AGAIN 2 WEEKS AGO. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT PLACE TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. THEY INSTALLED A SHIELD TO KEEP THE BELT DRY AND AFTER THAT IT HELD FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, BUT THEN BROKE AGAIN. THE BELT KEEPS MOVING OVER AND GETTING "CUT" AND THEN BREAKS. THE MILEAGE ON THE VAN IS ABOUT 119,000 NOW BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY GIVE ME A WARRANTY ON THE WORK, IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO???? *TR
