Consumer Description

DURING RAIN, SNOW, OR ICY CONDITIONS, THE ACCESSORY BELT PULLY OR IDLER GETS WET AND THE BELT COMES OFF RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ALTERNATOR, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE MOST RECENTLY 04/22/01 DURING A RAIN STORM IN CHICAGO. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SHEILD OR SOMETHING MISSING TO PREVENT WATER, SNOW, AND/OR ICE FROM SPLASHING UP ONTO THE BELT PULLIES. *AK
