The contact owns a 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager. During inclement weather or when traveling over unleveled land, the serpentine belt fractured. The failure recurred more than ten times without warning. The dealer was notified and recommended that the contact use belt conditioner, which did not provide a permanent remedy. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop more than five times for various repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no permanent remedy. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.
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.
