This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

My 2000 Chrysler Town and country van, has a problem with the serpentine belt coming off while it is raining. This is a very difficult and dangerous problem because it cause the power steering to go out and the most inopportune times. I really wish someone would be ethical enough from Chrysler or NHTSA to do a recall before someone get killed.
My Chrysler town&country with 3.8 eng.belt has come off when driving in heavy rain 4 times. Losing powersteering and causing engine to quickly to overheat. Dealers have no fix for this problem. This almost caused me to damage my car and possibly others since it came without any warning. I checked the internet to see if any one else had this problem and found many. It seems that so may that gates belt company designed a belt package to solve this problem. I purchase this repair package and seems to be working in the rain. Shouldn't this repair been a recall by Chrysler before someone gets hurt.
While raining and on vacation we drove through a puddle. Almost immediately the radiator light came on, the temperature gauge read, "hot, " we lost power steering, and then the alternator light came on. We had the vehicle towed only to learn that the serpentine belt slipped off and was dragging on the ground.
