OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS - SINCE THE REPLACEMENT MY SERPENTINE BELT ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER HAS POPPED OFF 4 OR 5 TIMES. SINCE OUR LOCAL DEALER IS NO LONGER HERE I HAD TO PAY $93.21 TODAY TO HAVE THE BELT PUT BACK. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE BELT AND TENSIONER AND FOUND BOTH IN PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW CONDITION AND GOOD WORKING ORDER. HE COULD NOT FIND A REASON WHY IT WOULD COME OFF. EACH TIME IT HAS COME OFF WAS AFTER A RAIN. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT TO MANY OTHERS ALSO. MY FORMER DEALER'S MECHANICS ALSO COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS A QUICK AND PERMANENT SOLUTION SINCE ALL THE POWER CONTROLS SUCH AS STEERING ARE MANAGED BY THIS ONE BELT. ONCE OUT YOU NO LONGER HAVE ANY POWER ASSISTED STEERING. *TR UPDATED 06/30/11 *BF UPDATED 07/01/11

I OWN A 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER SE 3.3L. THE DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT TOWER HAD SEVERE RUST ALMOST TO THE POINT OF RUSTING COMPLETELY THROUGH. VEHICLE HAS APPROX 146K MILES. I WAS FORCED TO PAY A LOCAL BODY SHOP TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE AND INSTALL A NEW STRUT TOWER CAP. *TR

DURING A VERY HEAVY RAIN, I HIT A BIG PUDDLE WHICH CAUSED THE SERPENTINE BELT TO COME OFF THE PULLEYS. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE RESULT IS NO POWER STEERING, NO ALTERNATOR TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND NO WATER PUMP TO COOL THE ENGINE. I DROVE IT UNTIL THE TEMP GAUGE SHOWED HOT AND THEN SHUT IT DOWN. NO MAJOR DAMAGE RESULTED. MECHANIC PUT BELT BACK ON FOR $15.00. 135K MILES ON VEHICLE AND IS VERY DEPENDABLE. *TR

MY MOTHER, BROTHER, AND I WERE ON AN EMERGENCY TRIP TO ARKANSAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON 09/01/08. WE HAD JUST GONE THROUGH KANSAS CITY, MO WHEN MY BROTHER (WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME) LOST CONTROL OF MY 2000 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER VAN AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOT A CRASH INVOLVED. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS SHREDDED DOWN TO NOTHING. HE PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE AND WE STAYED OVER NIGHT AT AN IHOP RESTAURANT. IN THE MORNING, WE WENT TO WALMART AND HAD THE TIRE REPLACED FOR $84.74, AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR TRIP. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME TO OMAHA, NE, I WENT TO SEARS WHERE THE TIRES WERE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN MAY 2005. THE MANAGER OF THE GARAGE AT SEARS WENT OUT TO LOOK AT THE TIRE THE SHREDDED AND ALSO INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES. HE WAS SURPRISED BY THE LOOK OF THE SHREDDED TIRE (WHICH I KEPT AS EVIDENCE OF THE DAMAGE) AND HE ALSO NOTICED THAT BOTH PASSENGER SIDE TIRES WERE SPLITTING ON THE SIDEWALLS THE SAME WAY
