Engine & cooling
Tl* the contact owns a 1995 Plymouth Acclaim. While driving 50 MPH, the contact stated that the rubber timing belt snapped. The vehicle decelerated, coasted, and stopped in traffic. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home and then towed to Apple Dodge hanover (200 eisenhower dr, hanover, pa 17331) where it was diagnosed that a new timing belt was needed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was unknown. The consumer stated rubber is too weak of a material for a timing belt.
When exiting the interstate during a heavy rain storm I hit a large puddle of water and the serpentine belt came off making it difficult to steer the car. This car was purchased brand new and sold to me 3 years ago. This had happened to my mother numerous times and twice since I've owned it. It only seems to happen driving through large puddles.
