Structure complaints
2 reportsWHEN IT RAINS OR YOU DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE, THE TENSIONER BELT COMES OFF. THIS MAKES STEERING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU DO MANAGE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE & DRIVE TO A SAFE SPOT TO STOP YOU RISK BURNING UP THE ENGINE DUE TO LACK OF COOLING. THE ABOVE IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. *NM
