Consumer Description

THE SERPENTINE BELT FALLS OFF IN WET WEATHER ON MY 1999 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES THIS PAST YEAR ALONE AND HAS COST ME IN TERMS OF TOWING AND SERVICE. THIS CAN ALSO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION DEPENDING ON WHEN AND WHERE THE BELT FALLS OFF. WHEN THE BELT COMES OFF, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING, THE RADIATOR OVERHEATS, AND THE ALTERNATOR ISN'T CHARGING. THIS CAN RUIN THE ENGINE. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH DODGE CARAVAN AND CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
