Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2002 Ford Mustang

I went to drive my car Friday morning and heard a squeaking noise I took it to the shop and had 3 pulleys replaced on it and it was still squeaking they replaced the water pump still squeaking I had 3 mechanics check the car and they told me with the miles that was on my car I should not be having problems coming from my crankshaft I don't even have 100,000 miles on the car yet.

I was traveling home from work on June 30, 2006, in my 2002 Ford Mustang gt during a heavy rain storm. Upon turning into a subdivision near my house I went through some water in the street that was higher than usual, but not high enough to stall my car's engine or to spray up over the wheel wells. Shortly after that, the steering and brakes of my car quit working. I opened the hood and saw that the drive belt was missing. The next day I had my car towed and the person towing the car indicated that this type of failure happened frequently. According to this person, the drive belt hydroplanes when substantially wet and comes off the pulleys. I had the dealership fix the car and was astounded to find out that Ford knows of this problem and has not notified the owners. On the invoice for the repair it is stated that the tensioner on the engine needs to be updated to a tensioner with a rail. I was also astounded to find out that my extended warranty didn't cover the work ($186. 32). If this kind of failure can occur at speeds in excess of 40 mph, I believe that an accident could happen.

While driving 40 mph and when brakes were depressed the vehicle pulled from side to side. There was a clunk after the brakes were released, the front tires rubbed on the frame when turning, three belts were installed within 6000, the vehicle smelled like oil, even with the a/c on. The motor rattled before the gears were shifted, with the a/c on the motor would surge up and down to the point where the vehicle would pull. After the consumer would take his foot off of the gas there would be a slight acceleration, the vehicle would hesitate and lunge forward. The vehicle was sometimes hard to start and must be cranked several times. There was a rattle in the rear of the rear of the vehicle as if something was loose moving back and forth. Poor alignment had worn the tires on the outside edge. The bolt from the vehicle was found in the driveway, and the rear window had an air leak.

After stopping at a red light during a rain storm. I attempted to pull out after the light turned green the motor died. I started the car right back up. The next day my belt started squeaking. I have an appointment for service. Also, during the first 10 days of buying the car the throw out bearing had to be replaced.

While traveling at highway speed of 60 mph sepentine belt came off and caused loss of power steering and power brakes. Dealer notified, and made repairs. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
