Re: 99 belt problem

I bought a used 2000 Caravan in March, this year. After about 1000Km (600 miles) the outer channel of the serp belt shredded off. Dealer replaced for free, said problem was debris, happenned again after another 1000 Km, Dealer replaced for free & adjusted power steering pully. Just happenned again after about 3000 additional Km, mechanic told me on arrival (only after getting mad and speaking to service mgr) that the OEM belt was Japanese Make and the closest available North American belt is slightly wider causing this problem if the power steering pulley isn't realigned when the original belt is replaced. -might have been a line but sounded legit enough.
