While traveling at high speeds, such as 65mph vehicle will just cut off. This happened frequently. Manufacturer has called dealer to keep vehicle a little longer in order to find cause of the problem.

problem #20

Tensioner pulley on serpentine belt system of engine has failed twice since I have owned this vehicle. First failure was at approximately 30,000 miles. Pulley had seized on its bearings, and stopped turning. The failure forced the serpentine belt to run continuously against a non-rotating member of the belt drive train. This failure did not cause the belt to break, however it did cause premature wear on the belt. If the failure had not been detected, the belt would have broken due to fatigue and heat related stress, causing loss of power steering assist, and power brake assist, as well as loss of engine water pump function, and loss of alternator function. Dealer replaced the pulley assembly at approx 30,000 miles. The replacement subsequently failed somewhere prior to reaching 54,000 miles, and failed in the same manner -- it seized on its bearings and stopped turning. Dealer again replaced pulley assembly. Two failures of the same subassembly indicates to me that this particular component has an inherent design flaw. Undetected failure of this part can lead to sudden loss of the serpentine belt which will cause instant loss of power steering assist and power brake assist, either of which can lead to a serious accident.
