Consumer Description

SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2002, PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR TILL MID-2010. SINCE THEN THE BELT HAS CAME OFF AT LEAST 5 TIMES OR MORE. SEEMS EVERY TIME IT RAINS. I'VE HAD THE BELT REPLACED, AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPLACED THAT COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT IT. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAD IT REPAIRED THIS PAST TUES. AND GUESS WHAT YESTERDAY IT CAME OFF AGAIN (ALL OF 5 DAYS). I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT I'M AFRAID OF IT. WHEN THE BELT COMES OFF EVERYTHING GOES OFF. LUCKILY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD (SO FAR). LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE -SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL WILL HAPPEN AND A SOLUTION?? THIS IS VERY COSTLY IN REPAIR BILLS/TOW BILLS AND SO FORTH. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *KB
