problem #5

Park Avenue 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 109,229 miles
My factory installed supercharger has had a pulley mechanism fall apart. As a result the belt from this system (similar to a drive train belt) fell down through the engine compartment under the front passenger side tire abruptly stopping my vehicle as the belt was still attached to the another component in the engine. This has happened three different times and each time has involved a different pulley on the system.
