Serpentine belt falls off all the time it pulls inward toward the engine slightly any when it gets just a little wet it slips off. The tensioner pulley looks like it needed to be cocked upward just the slightest little bit and then it don't move gates aftermarket product works perfect for all who use it chyrsler should be the ones paying to have this part replaced not us this is way to common of a problem.

I have problems with my wipers going on and right back off since the month I bought this vehicle in 2000. I cant get it fixed because noone knows why it does it. Just this week I had my fan relay module replaced, only to learn my transmission is now not worknig it stops at 3rd gear only to drop to 1 gear. While trying to get that fixxed they told me my water pump is leaking (which is ok and expected of most vehicles, ) I have had to have my dash light computer reset because all my ac dfrost and wiper lights were blinking continuously. I dont know what to do this is only a 97 model and I havent even made my final payment but now I have all these expensive repairs. I have had I tick in my motor that rattles on acceleratin forever and change my oil every 3 to 4000 miles like I should. I also have the winning in the steering the thump every so often but cant tell where that is coming from not to mention my A/C compressor rattles. My belt on my tensioner pully flu aff about 6 months ago going down the road I had to put a new pukky plus both new belts on. And they squeek like crazy. I dont think these are normal problems can you help it is getting to costly >"????"

Check engine light fail to come on. This in turn cause the fuel pump to start failing, which in turn cause one of the heads to have a mis-fire. This has cause me to fail Maryland emissions cause they hook your vehicle up to a computer. Break down of repairs below from the Chrysler dealer that calls it a five star dealer !!! fuel pump = $600 check engine light ( wiring ) = $350 new head one side = $1,100 this is from a man who changes the oil every 2,500 miles and takes great care of the vehicle my VW has 250,000 miles and still runs great. I called Chrysler but they said it my problem.
