Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My Chrysler town&country with 3.8 eng.belt has come off when driving in heavy rain 4 times. Losing powersteering and causing engine to quickly to overheat. Dealers have no fix for this problem. This almost caused me to damage my car and possibly others since it came without any warning. I checked the internet to see if any one else had this problem and found many. It seems that so may that gates belt company designed a belt package to solve this problem. I purchase this repair package and seems to be working in the rain. Shouldn't this repair been a recall by Chrysler before someone gets hurt.”
