i tryed to take my 00 camaro out today but when i tryed to turn the wheel there was no powerstering!!! even tho there was no engine lights on i was so confused until i seen my NEW belt laying on the ground,,, how could it have just fell out?

 

Is the belt broken? Are you positive it was routed correctly? Are you sure that all of the ribs were lined up correctly on your pulleys? Is your tensioner weak?

 

the belt is in great condition i just had my local CHEVY delars mechanics install it back in November and since my right hand is in a cast im unable to deal with it myself i guess i will have it towed tomm back to chevy

 

Im guessing the tensioner is bad. if it was not installed correctly (not lined up in the grooves) by this time it would have made alot of noise, and torn up the belt. however, it is POSSIBLE it wasnt installed right. in which case they should pay for the reinstallation AND the two bill. also, when you get it towed back in there, if they say the tensioner is bad, have them show you. a dishonest mechanic will tell you its bad so you have to pay for everything.

 

Trust me i have had my share of dishonest mechanics it seems elizabethtown ky is the worst thats y i pay more by going to chevy.. tomm i will be sure to show me its bad thanks for the advice.

 

cool, good luck

 

Well come to find out it was installed wrong and i was never charged for it even the tow was free!! GO HERB JONES CHEVY IN E-TOWN!

 

Wasn't it this dealer who installed it wrong in the first place?

 

well, unfortunatly everyone makes mistakes. even dealership mechanics. but only a good shop will admit it and make up for it by paying for his tow bill.
