Serpentine belt repeatedly comes off. Replacing idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and belt remedies the situation for 6 months or so. The problem is so prominent in other vehicles with the same engine that gates and goodyear sell a kit that will permanently fix chrysler's goof up. Failure results in loss of power steering and loss of battery charging. Vehicle continues to run until the battery dies.

I bought this vehicle in 8-03, secondhand from a dealership in ny. In the last 2 weeks, I have had trouble with the transmission losing power and starting to lose fluid. In route to a dr's appt. With my pregnant daughter and her 5 yr. Old the trans. Started to slip and lunge forward. I stopped the vehicle and checked the trans. Was empty of fluid after 20 miles from home. Added 4 qts. Of fluid only to go another 10 miles and the trans. Was doing it again. To the garage only to find out the trans. Casing was blown out and no fluid. Mechanic told me this was a very common problem with this trans. To no avail, no trans. To be found in ny state. To get another trans it is going to cost me $1500-$2000. I will not buy another chrysler voyager. I will do better homework next time.
