Problem has been on going for 2.5 months. Dealer has had car for over a month and has been unable to diagnos or cure the problem. I've spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on fixes that they have recommended. None have worked and their corporate has not given me any support in this matter. When the failure occurs the car's engine shuts off with no warning. Power steering and brakes go out rendering the vehicle a hazard to myself and all other drivers around my on busy hwys. If there is any assistance that your organization can provide me I would greatly appreciate it! tks for your time and consideration.

problem #1

Upon driving my vehicle 5/12/99 the drivebelt began shredding. 5/13/99 the problem fixed with both belts being replaced. While driving on 5/14/99 a belt fell off, resulting both belts gone and loss of A/C as well as power steering. Problem fixed again with mechanic suggesting that belts may not have fit properly and replaced with factory parts. 5/25/99 while driving I noticed a loss in power steering and A/C again I immediately inspected and saw the belts once again missing. Frusterated I went the nearest dealership and asked what may be wrong with the car. The service advisor brought to my attention that there is a bulletin regarding that one of the pulleys on the drive system losses alignment and causes the belts to fall off. The remedy is to apply shimms to bring all pulleys in alignment at a cost of approximatley $200 for labor. Why is this not a recall and what is a bulletin for if we are not informed till its more expensive. When driving and the belts fell off I lost my power steering too.
