Knowledge Database - Serpentine Belts

Question: Why do serpentine belts have to be replaced?

Answer: Your vehicle cannot operate if your Serpentine Belt breaks. The Serpentine Belt is needed to drive many engine functions, such as power steering and your water pump. If your belt breaks, you may be able to drive your vehicle for a very short distance before your engine fails from overheating. Steering will also be very difficult at low speeds since your power steering will be inoperable.
