Consumer Description

SERPENTINE BELT PULLEYS BROKE OFF TWICE, IN THE LAST FEW THOUSAND MILES, CAUSING DESTRUCTION OF BRAND NEW SERPENTINE BELTS, LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, LOSS OF HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING, LOSS OF BATTERY CHARGE, AND OVERHEATING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, IN WHICH ANOTHER PULLEY BROKE OFF THE SYSTEM COULD HAVE CAUSED DEATH, GIVEN THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURED UP NORTH, AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS WELL BELOW FREEZING. LUCKILY, A DUNKIN DONUTS RESTAURANT WAS ON HAND WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE CAR'S FAILURE.
