Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPORT, THE SERPENTINE BELT HAS FALLEN OFF 4 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT CAME OFF I WAS GOING 35 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, A FRIEND HELPED MY DAD PUT THE BELT BACK ON, THEN A FEW DAYS LATER IT CAME OFF AGAIN GOING 55/60 MPH, TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HAD THE WATER PUMP, SERPENTINE BELT AND TENSIONER PULLEY REPLACED. ABOUT ONE TO TWO WEEK(S) LATER THE BELT FALLS OFF AGAIN DURING EXCELLERATION TO GET ONTO AN EXPRESS WAY, THIS TIME TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE TENSIONER ITSELF. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON AUGUST 12, 2014, IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS ONLY GOING 25 MPH AS I TURNED ONTO MY STREET, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE DRIVE WAY BEFORE MY VAN STARTED TO OVERHEAT. *TR
