"Will not endanger my family again!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The serpentine belt has come off three times within the past year when driving with water on the road.

General comments?

I believe this problem to be a design flaw and yet Dodge has not stepped up to claim responsibility and they should. Customer satisfaction should be a top priority as well as safety of the families who trust their vehicles.

I was happy to read that other's are having a problem with the belt coming off in wet weather as well. It has happened to me plenty of times and now we are looking for another vehicle, as we have a baby and this is a dangerous situation to put a baby in.

We live in Canada.

Thanks for sharing your information with us.

I have a Plymouth Voyager that had the same problem. I was able to fix it by replacing the belt tensioner. Over time the spring in the tensioner weakens.

There is a retrofit plate that bolts on to prevent the belt

from coming off... Help sells it the Dorman co.
