| 2001 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | MY 2001 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPORT HAD ITS SERPENTINE BELT SHREDDED AND ALTERNATOR BLOWN DUE TO SNOW PACKED UP IN THE ENGINE. THE ANGLE OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO BLOCKER ON THE UNDERNEATH TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURING MADE THIS AN EXPENSIVE ORDEAL. I WAS TOLD BY DAIMLER/CHRYSLER THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THEY COULD CONTROL THE SNOW SO THIS WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM TO FIX. WHEN I BUY A VEHICLE, I EXPECT IT TO WORK IN ALL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND OR NOT. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.*AK |
