My factory installed supercharger has had a pulley mechanism fall apart. As a result the belt from this system (similar to a drive train belt) fell down through the engine compartment under the front passenger side tire abruptly stopping my vehicle as the belt was still attached to the another component in the engine. This has happened three different times and each time has involved a different pulley on the system.

Serpentine belt came off on a crowded interstate at 70 mph, cutting an A/C hose so that engine fluid leaked out, resultging in engine overheating.
