Within 5 minutes after start-up, turning thru a curve in the road steering went out. Engine started to get hot within about 2 minutes (light on dash came on). Pulled over to check out problem. Noticed serpentine belt off and tensioner laying below.
Without warning at 50 mph, the water pump on this car seized, then the alternator belt burned which broke all the other belts nearby, causing the car to lose power. This incident has happened twice to this car in the last 6 months.
The bolt within the serpentine belt tensioner, which is attached to frame broke, causing loss of brakes/steering and alternator. Dealer has been notified. Part # is 461289Y.
