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. Updated 06/30/11 updated 07/01/11

I have a 2000 Chrysler mini van and my serpentine belt keeps coming off when it rains. This has happened 4 times in one year. They have replaced the belt and fixed the tensioner its in the shop right now and waiting for a belt kit to fix the problem (gates system kit). Why isn't there a recall on this problem?

While driving at any speed and with out warning vehicle stalled in the middle of the highway. This problem occurred three times. Each time dealer examined the vehicle, but could not resolve the problem.

We purchased the vehicle because it only had 21,486 at three years old and they called it certified. When the air conditioning went out they refused to even reimburse us part of it because we did not have the extended warranty. We have the powertrain a this point until 70,000 miles. We have had engine knocking, which our mechanic added an additive to and seemed to go away but now at the end of August seems to be returning. The tires were terrible at what seemed to us to be low mileage. We had sensors that went and caused the transmission to downwshift so our mechanic repaired. We have submitted that one bill to Chrysler because it turns out it was a powertrain issue on that. We have not received reimbursement yet. When the brakes went metal to metal totally without warning on August 23 we began to wonder if our odometer had been turned back before we bought it but are now thinking it is just a very cheap, shoddy vechicle and we are so sorry we have bought it and wasted this much money on it. We went back to the dealer, suncoast Chrysler Plymouth when the air went out and they refused to do anything. We went back again to the general manager at the end of August trying to find a way to get out of this and get our money back or at the very least help with the extremely expensive brake repair and they said there is nothing they can do. The engine does not sound good now so we are expecting anything to happen next.
