Major problem is serpentine belt coming off and causing a loss of steering. It was not until this last repair that a bracket was installed from a service bulletin dated 7-2-99. Only the first repair was prior to this date. This is a major problem, fortunately for me every time the belt came off I was in a parking lot.
Dealership tried but could not repair wharever is causing the clunking noise coming from under the front suspension. Other refers to seat heater burning a hole in the seat, dealership and manufacture refuse to repair.
1999 chrysler t&c with 80,000 miles. Tie rod loose $200, alternator tension rusted $200, strut covers rusting $900. These and the general poor quality rating of this vehicle has cost me thousands in trade-in value and placed my family in jeopardy.

While making a slow right hand turn it became difficult to steer vehicle. Dealer determined power steering unit and idler arm had to be replaced.*ak
Within a few months of buying this vehicle brand new a loud noise developed while steering at low speeds that was later ascribed to a loose belt. A few months later, while spouse was driving at approx 45-50 MPH, the speedometer went dead and the transmission got stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear. The vehicle slowed down and would not go much faster than about 35 MPH. This was latter determined to be due to some faulty sensor. Just a few months after that, with the vehicle barely 2 years old, the battery went dead for no apparent reason. New battery was needed. Now I have this humming noise in the rear brakes with barely 31k miles on the vehicle. What's next? This thing (so-called vehicle) has already cost us much lost time (taking it to the dealer) and the associated money in lost wages!
While in parked position with engine running, belt tensioner broke off creating a loud noise and fell to the ground.

I heard a noise in the engine and the car stopped and it was impossible for me to steer the wheel. I looked in the engine and I found the belt loose and the the belt tension pully and the bolt under the car. The car towed to the chrysler dealer. Now several questions raised about this car, which I got no answer from the technical manager.
