NHTSA complaint #10120108, filed 2005-05, 120,920 miles“Serpentine belt comes off when splashed by water on road, causing failure of power steering, alternator and water pump. This failure was routine whenever the vehicle was driven through pooled water exceeding 1/2 inch. The upper alternator bracket was found to have suffered fatigue cracks and the alternator mounting bolt was not held rigid. Splashed water causes the belt to slip-catch thus displacing the position of the alternator pulley, and the belt is thrown off the pulleys. This was the last of many incidents (approximately 10 other times) where the belt was thrown driving on wet roads. …”
