When accelerator is pushed a buzzing noise occurs. The mechanic at the dealer said it was a warped manifold. He also stated that he'd seen two instances in three years and didn't know what causes it. He stated that it should not be driven in case other systems might be affected.

Serpentine belt keeps breaking and shredding. When this happens there's a hard knocking noise. Took to dealer and it broke again. This had to be repaired 4 times. After last breakage, car to died.
Squeak in the front of the engine, replaced belt, 2 times; tires defective, "cheap" dealer admitted to "bad" tires, 1 flat & 1 wear out <25,000 miles
Cause of loss of power steering support is accessory/serpentine belt coming off the drive pulleys. Has happened four times within 12 months, about every 2,000 miles. Tsb 07-01-99 by chrysler describes the problem, albeit making wrong assumptions regarding affected models and conditions triggering the incident (snow/moisture) . This is a serious safety problem that should be addressed by the federal safety agency. Chrysler's responsiveness to my complaints has been zero. My wife and children were lucky that an accident caused by the sudden loss of power steering could be prevented. With an attorney's help, I will start to seek remedy under lemon law protection this week.
Defective head gaskets caused an oil leak which may cause a fire or engine to fail. Common problem.*ak.et.
