NHTSA Complaint #10444714 — 1999 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN. MAJOR PROBLEM IS SERPENTINE BELT COMING OFF AND CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING. EVERY TIME IT RAINS MY SERPENTINE BELT COMES OFF WHICH CAUSES EXTREMELY HARD STEERING. I HAVE REPLACED TENSIONERS TWICE IN THE AND BELT 4 TIMES. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE FREE WAY OR A STREET WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC OR THIS COULD KILL ME OR AN OTHER PERSON. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO 100S OF PEOPLE. ON THE INTERNET IT STATE THAT THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED REPAIR ( THE REPLACEMENT OF THE IDLER PULLEY AND THE PULLEYS RETAINING BRACKET.) IN THE TSB I READ, CHRYSLER'S ENGINEERS HAVE DECIDED THAT ON SOME MODELS THE IDLER PULLEY IS MISALIGNED BY .08 INCHES. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS AND FIX THERE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. GET INVOLVED AND MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
