Suggested Repair

Replace the serpentine belt as soon as possible. If it breaks, the alternator, air conditioning, water pump, power steering, and other belt-driven accessories will stop working and can leave the vehicle stranded.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager with a 3.3 engine said both front wheel axles need replacement and the serpentine belt is about to break, asking what would happen if they fail. The expert advised not waiting for the belt to break and replacing it immediately, because failure would disable the alternator, air conditioning, water pump, power steering, and other belt-driven components and could strand the vehicle.
