As I was driving home from my girlfriends house, my car began to overheat uncontrollably, and the power steering failed. So I pulled over and opened my hood to see that the drive belt had come off. It was the middle of the night so I had to wait to be towed by AAA back home. Not only was the drive belt broken, but the belt tensioner was ground to pieces, in total it cost me almost 300 dollars, and this was the SECOND time this happened. So beware that if you have this car the belt is going to just come off eventually and I hope you're ready.
Belt came off 2 times now for no apparent reason, in one week. Pulleys do not seem abnormal or obviously bad. Happened once during start up, once while raining. belt looks good...? Put new tensioner today...
