It would not restart. The next day, I tried to jump start with no success at all. After further examination, noticed that the drive belt had come off the pulleys completely.”

My vehicle has been only driven for less than 4 years. A self check on the steering system showed with no leaking steering fluid and completely clean steering fluid when the incidents happened. …”
