so i was driving with my family to a friends house and was making a sweeping left hand corner at about 30mph when my serpentine belt broke (keep in mind there is only 10,000 miles on the car) power steering went out and then my acd seemed to put me into neutral then i went off the road on to a dirt well muddy embankment wich then caused a good bit of damage to my front lip ripped all the plastics off the bottom and bent my oil cooler and intercooler .....so is this belt under warr. this should not have happened at such low milage car is 6 months old ....also does this belt run any of my emisions setup because if it does it is def under warr according to mitsu website any and all feed back would be great thank you

 

I would conntact the dealer and explain what happened and tell them you want the whole car fixed like new. Imagine if someone would of been hurt. I would get a lawyer.

 

i hope ur car is not moded.

 

Very good point and I would do the same. I'm inclined to think the dealer may challenge the notion of paying for damages as he may say 'prove your belt broke BEFORE the crash/caused the crash'.

 

How old are you?

 

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad no one was hurt.

 

being modded has a big part in how the dealer will attempt to handle the situtation
Hope you're not!

what does his age have anything to do with the problem at hand? haha

 

all i got is tbe but i still have the old exhaust oh yea and im 28

 

wow that sucks... just put the old one back on... call em up and get ready for a fight so yea the lawyer is a must lol...

 

if your counting on the belt to be under warranty through the emmisions system like you said, they turbo back voids that warrany all together

 

Wow that's totally crazy that the car caused the whole crash.

 

+1

 

+2

 

yea dude it was crazy i had no controll of the vehicle because it would not let me, and i forgot to add that after my cay went into neutrall (while it was in gear mind you) it shut off all this happened pretty slow cause i was goin slow my wife was in the car along with my 2 yr old daughter and my brand new baby girl....man i was layin on the brakes and every thing but with no vacum assist there those didnt work either

 

scary...that definitely sux
