greggmh123 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hello! I am wondering if anyone has experienced a broken serpentine belt at low mileage. Mine just broke at 7,443 miles. I had noticed a very slight chirping sound at idle for the previous few days. Also, on hard acceleration, I heard what almost sounded like a ping or possibly a tensioner ratting, even for a second after backing off of the throttle. Fortunately, I was four miles from a dealership. They found nothing wrong with pulleys or tensioner and replaced both belts. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

fishx65 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I had a 2013 Lincoln MKX split a belt around 15,000 miles because of a metal bur on one of the pulleys. Never actually saw it but that's what the dealership told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Maybe at a 107,000 miles, but never had a problem THAT early on any of my vehicles. Glad it was under warranty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
