ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
SERPENTINE BELT FRAYED AND BREAKING. DIFFICULT TO KEEP PROPERLY TENSIONED. FOLLOWING ABOUT TWO MONTHS OF THIS PROBLEM THE FACTORY BOLT HOLDING THE MOUNTING FRAME FOR THE AC COMPRESSOR BROKE OFF AT THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING THE AC COMPRESSOR TO FALL FROM ITS MOUNT DUE TO THE TOP BOLT HAVING WORKED LOOSE. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE COMPRESSOR BOUNCED AROUND ON THE HOSES FREELY UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD BE DETERMINED. THIS BOLT BROKE OFF DUE TO THE TOP MOUNTING BOLT BACKING OUT OF THE MOUNT ON THE ENGINE HEAD. NEITHER OF THESE BOLTS NEED TO BE LOOSENED TO ADJUST BELT TENSION AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE OFF OR BACKED OUT. BELT ALIGNMENT AND FRAYING PROBLEM IS LIKELY CAUSED BY THE DEFORMATION OF THE LOWER BOLT PRIOR TO IT BREAKING. *NM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MARCH 8, 2003 I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 2 OR SO WEEKS, I ENCOUNTERED RATTLING AND SQUEAKING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM FIND THE PROBLEM. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I GET A COURTESY CALL ON HOW SERVICE WAS, I TELL THEM THE SERVICE WAS FINE, AND THAT STILL NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND MY SQUEAKING AND RATTLING. I AM TOLD THAT SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME ON THIS. TO THIS DATE (JULY 22, 2006), I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE. I AM GETTING FED UP. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I HAVE CHILDREN I DRIVE AROUND AND THEY HEAR THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT WANT TO BE IN MY VEHICLE, BUT THEY HAVE NO CHOICE AS I AM THE DRIVER. *NM
