| Description of the problem | Went out to car to start before leaving to go to work notice that the car steering wheel would not turn. Got out the vehicle pop the hood of the car and seen that the belt had come off the pulleys the belt it's self was not broke but of the pulleys. This is the third time this has happen this year the first time i had to the car to jeffy lube to have it look at because the belt was squealing they check it out and i was told that the bolt had broke off and half of the bolt was still stuck in the hole. I had the bolt and pulley replace then. The second time i has sitting in my car with it on in parking lot and i heard something pop i got out pop the hood and notice the belt was off the pulley i had the car towed to a repair shop and was told the bolt that holds one of the pulleys was not fitting properly in the space where it belongs so it was loosening itself and the pulleys was coming a loose from its position allowing the belt to come off i had it fix. So there has to be a default problem with the pulley or bolt or the hole that the bolt goes in if the bolt keeps breaking off i'm tired of replacing the same problem every couple of months i have to pay for towing, labor and parts to repair shops i'm pretty sure this time it's the same problem i just hadn't had it towed to a repair shop today yet since it just happen i search to see if my car had a recall on this problem hadn't seen one yet |
