REPEATED PULLEY AND THEN BELT FAILURE CAUSING STEERING AND BREAKING TROUBLE. REPAIRS DO NOT LAST. LOCAL DEALERS DON'T HAVE LASER ALIGNMENT TOOL TO CHECK ALIGNMENT. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH BELTS FLYING OFF BECAUSE OF RAIN OR SLUSH IN THIS VEHICLE, MY PULLEYS JUST DISINTEGRATE WITH OUT THE WATER. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF AFTERMARKET SOLUTIONS BUT THEY SEEM HIT OR MISS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN BY GRAND MOTHER WITH THE GRAND CHILDREN ABOARD FAR ENOUGH AWAY FOR A $150.00 TOW BILL. ITS LUCKY SO FARE ITS BEEN ON CITY STREETS AND AT LOW ENOUGH SPEEDS THAT A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER CAN BE FOUND. THE PULLEYS THAT SEEM TO FAIL ARE THE IDLER AND THE TENSIONER PULLEYS. THIS 3.3 ENGINE IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH 145,000 MILES. THOUGH IT SEEMS THAT MILLAGE DOES NOT MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO PULLEY ISSUES.
