The contact owns a 1999 Plymouth Voyager. The contact stated that while driving through wet conditions the serpentine belt would detach from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer four times. Each time the dealer would reattach the belt, the same failure would occur. The dealer was unable to explain the reason for the failure.

Engine became very hot when drove accidentally through a puddle after a large rain. Had to replace the serpentine belt, was told by mechanic that this happens alot to this particular vehicle because of the one belt controlling so many pulleys/whatevers in the van. Shortly there after the engine had clicking noises & was told the lifters had collasped. The van had plenty of oil & water, all filters were updated too. The van developed an oil and transmission fluid leak. We treated this van like a family member- with loving care. Driving on to see family on easter weekend, our van suddenly lost power. We were stranded. The mechanic told us our engine had seized & didn't understand why since we had plenty of oil. The van is too young & has minimal miles on it to have had this happen!

Serpentine belt came off twice in one month. Had tensioner replaced. Did not help. Found that this has happened to many other owners of Plymouth voyeger in heavy rain and snow. Very dangerous, because of loss of power steering on freeway during bad weather conditions.

While driving serpentine belt continuously slips off, requiring replacement of a new belt every 3000 miles. Please provide any further information, and vehicle identification number.

Oct. 2000 during rainstorm the serpentine belt came off all pulleys, resulting in loss of power steering and overheating. Took to dealer, they replaced tensioner and belt. Jan. 10, 2001 driving in rain again, same thing happened: Loss of power steering and overheating. Towed to dealer, again replaced tensioner and belt, other vans in for same problem. What if driving on freeway and/or curving road in rain ? could result in loss of vehicle control and lives ! am now unable to drive vehicle in rain due to obvious design flaw.
