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
