2000 CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER

IN THE RAIN, WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, THE FAN BELT SLIPPED OFF OF THE IDLER PULLEYS CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING, LOSS OF CHARGING, LOSS OF COOLING, THUS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE CAR DUE TO LACK OF STEERING. RESULTING IF ALMOST $600.00 IN REPAIRS. THE CAR REPAIR SHOP SAYS THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THE IDLER PULLEY ARE SMOOTH AND DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER GROOVES. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING ON A RAINY DAY, AND WAS EXITING THE PARKWAY, TURNING INTO THE MALL PARKING LOT, WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN, BARELY MADE IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. FOUND OUT FROM MECHANIC BELT SLIPPED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED, TWICE MORE SINCE THIS INCIDENT, WITH BRAND NEW BELTS. TODAY IT RAINED, I WAS TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM SURPRISED NO ONE HAD DIED FROM THIS DEFECT. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER FIXED THIS ALONG TIME AGO. I AM CURRENTLY BUYING A GATES 38739 REPAIR KIT AFTER SEEING ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, IT STAYED ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AS YOU TURN IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. *TR

EVERY TIME IT RAINS AND I HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE THE BELT COMES OFF THE VAN. I IMMEDIATELY LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE CAR STARTS TO OVERHEAT. MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR BARELY BEEN ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OUT OF DANGER WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE. I AM OUTRAGED THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOTHING TO REMEDY IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE? *TR

DRIVING AROUND LOCAL STREETS, BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN SINKING TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A SLIGHT BRAKING WHEN IT REACHED THE FLOOR SO I WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND STOP THE CAR. THINKING THE FLUID WAS LOW, I DROVE SLOWLY HOME AND ADDED BRAKE FLUID. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIMES BUT IT NEVER CAME BACK TO FEEL LIKE SOLID BRAKING AGAIN. OUTSIDE THE CAR I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING OUT FROM ABOVE THE GAS TANK ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. MY BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND I NOW HAVE TO HAVE THEM FIXED.
