problem #1

Jan 222007

(reported on)

Optima LX 2.4L 4cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,000 miles

Had car in a around 8,000 miles belts were making noise, dealer said that they tightened the belts but could not duplicate the problem. Took car home the belts snapped the next day no a/c or power steering. Replaced the belts had back in several more times they tightened the belts had in at 38,000 miles replaced belts again. Two weeks later they were making the same noise they again tightened the belts. Again today the belts are making the same annoying loud noise. The dealership says that they do not know what else to do for it.
