Consumer Description

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THE SERPENTINE BELT HAS SHREADED APART. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES. WHEN THE BELT GOES THERE IS, OF COURSE, NO POWER STEERING (WHICH SERIOUSLY AFFECTS THE HANDLING, NO POWER BRAKES (WHICH AFFECTS THE STOPPING) AND THE WATER PUMP DOS NOT WORK (CAUSING THE VAN TO OVERHEAT RATHER QUICKLY). THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I AM FROM CANADA SO I WAS UNABLE TO ENTER MY PROVINCE (BRITISH COLUMBIA) AND MY POSTAL CODE (V3G 1L5).*AK
