A/C fan belt. I have went through 3 fan belts for this van and my parts dealer told me to find out if any recalls for the pulley was out there.

I own a 1998 Dodge Caravan 3.3L and less than 55,000 miles, the tensioner pulley went out of alignment, the bolt holding the tensioner in place was sheared in half, the belt fell off, and the steering locked up immediately. Thank god this happen in the shopping mall parking lot and not on freeway, the van be impossible to control! have the van towed to C&M auto service, have the serpentine belt, the serpentine belt tensioner replaced and re-align the tensioner. The belt/pulley design on this van is flawed and a major safety hazard! in brazil, Chrysler did a recall back in 2000 - due to several issues related to belt/pulley system on the Caravan and Grand Caravan models.
