While driving down the interstate, I noticed a noise and strange feeling in the steering wheel. It felt like the car's engine had shut off. I pulled over, but the car was still running. However, the alternator light was on and there was no response from the power steering. Upon examination, the serpentine belt had come off due to an apparent seizure of the tensioner pulley. It had melted and fallen off. The heat was great enough to leave drops of molten aluminum on the shroud underneath and the pulley itself was melted into it as well. My whole family was in the car at the time and we beleive that under other driving conditions or circumstances this could have caused a deadly crash. Thank you for your time, lemuel justice.

Headlight lenses constantly turn yellow and cloudy, power window regulator cables constantly snap, excessive play in steering wheel, horn buttons too small and inconvienient and pop out at times, egr chamber always clogs every 40k miles and causes stalling condition.

My engine check light keeps going on. We have changed the pfe sensor, installed new egr sensor, and installed a new egr selenoid, along with changing the second sensor. Still the "check engine" light goes on. I know when the light goes on because I can feel in when I excelerate. Now I will be bring it to the mechanic for the 5 time next week. This egr has something to do with the air pollution, and it also effects my gas mileage. Thank you for your time.
