THE FAILURE ON 5/12/97 OF STEERING (DUE TO BROKEN BELT TENSIONER/SERPENTINE BELT) WAS EXTREMELY SERIOUS. MY WIFE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR AS IT WAS NOT AT ALL STEERABLE.

THIS HAPPENED ONLY 18 DAYS AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR MAJOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS (AT PORT JEFF CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH, 5130 NESCONSET HIGHWAY, PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NEW YORK, 11776.
