Consumer Description

I HAVE AT 2000 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE SERPENTINE BELT HAS FALLEN OFF TWICE WHILE I AM DRIVING IN RAIN. THIS LATEST TIME, A VEHICLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WENT THROUGH STANDING WATER, SPLASHED MY VAN AND CAUSED THE BELT TO COME OFF IMMEDIATELY. I LOST POWER STEERING WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND TURNING A CORNER. MY YOUNG SON WAS WITH ME IN THE VAN AT THE TIME. THIS IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. MY SHOP IS VERY GOOD, THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND TRY TO DO EVERYTHING TO HELP PREVENT IT. SHIELDS ARE IN PLACE, BUT ARE NO HELP. *TR
