Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Serpentine belt comes off dodge grand caravan whenever there is inclement weather -ie, rain , snow, slush, making it almost impossible to drive this vehicle. My specific concern is that - this defect- may cause an extremely serious accident on some super highway because steering becomes almost impossible. I think the potential for many deaths is there if this problem - which appears quite frequently on chrysler product minivans is not corrected. It is my opiunion that there should be a recall on all the minivans which have similar configurations as the 1997 3. 3 series engines. *ak
