DRIVE BELT TENSIONER PULLEY PROGRESSIVELY MISALIGNED ITSELF OVER TIME, CAUSING THE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT TO COME OFF . THIS LEAVES THE DRIVER WITH NO POWER STEERING, NO CHARGING SYSTEM, AND A DAMAGED ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 02/24/1997. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPEND ON 1/14 2000.
