Serpintine Belt

I have a 96 Grand Voyager with the 3.3 liter. The belt has come off a
number of times if I drive through heavy rain and go through puddles.
Has any body had this experience?

I've not heard of nor seen it happen. It's possible the belt tensioner
is getting weak. Or there could be a splash shield missing underneath.

 

This has been pretty common with a van that we used to have, as well as
a friend's van. Check to see if your tensioner is as tight as it's
supposed to be, and check your belt to see if it's getting stretched and
worn out.

 

It seems like there was a recall for this, that involved installing a
different splash shield.

If there was a recall, go to this URL, and there is a place to enter
the final 8 digits of your Voyager's VIN. It will display any recalls
that have not been completed.

the wiper module has 2 drainsand tubes one on each side and if it has been
worked on at a dealer there is a good chance they left off the right side
drain tube and water pours on the belt and it slips off

 

AH, that's right. I remember those from fuel rail recalls. Those things
get brittle..
