“The serpentine belt comes off every time I go thru water. I can not drive the van anytime it rains or the roads are wet! My daughter in law has the same van and the same problem! Once the belt comes off I loose all power,steering,brakes. Putting me and any passengers in danger!”
NHTSA complaint #10439003, filed 2011-12, 143,000 miles“On two occasions the serpentine belt slipped off their pulleys while driving, which left my car without power steering, brakes, cooling, A/C, or alternator. I had to stop and have the car towed in. Dealer could not provide a preventative repair to keep the belt from slipping off again. Finally, gates had a kit in feb. 2007 that I had installed that is supposed to cure this problem. This is an epidemic problem for this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10187057, filed 2007-04, 83,500 miles“In wet conditions, the serpentine belt of our 2000 chrysler Grand Voyager minivan comes off with no warning. The problem is intermittent and unpredictable (though always wet). When it does slip off, the driver is left in a deadly situation as all power steering is lost. This has happened to us approximately 10 times over the past year or so. We've replaced the belt twice, the pulley wheel, the tensioner, and the motor mounts. We've also had a plate installed under the motor to try to keep road moisture off of the belt system. …”
NHTSA complaint #10212136, filed 2007-12, 75,000 miles“I have a 2000 chrysler grand voyage, currently with 136000 miles on it. Any time there seems to be a bit of a wet condition, that leads to the serpentine belt coming off. It happened on 3/12/2007, in nov 2006, in sept 2006, in aug 2006, during the summer of 2005, and summer of 2004(original belt). With the number of systems controlled by that belt, this is a safety hazard. The reports seem to be that the belt is very prone to slipping off. In the nov 2006 repair, the shop said I needed a water pump because the bearings were worn and the shaft was out of alignment. …”
NHTSA complaint #10184940, filed 2007-03, 136,000 miles“Serpentine belt broke on the way home from work. Belt broke 2 other times also. Car was into dealer on 12/10/03 for this and knocking noise. They fixed knocking noise but did not look at belts. On 2/11/03 the belt tensioner was replaced by firestone. The new on looks nothing like the original but the belts have not broken since.”
