Once a belt flies off it has stretched beyond allowable specs and should not
be used again. Possibly the pulleys are out of round or got nicked,
scratched, bent, whatever and are the root cause of your problem. The good
news is that if you're still under warranty the belts are covered.

Subject: thrown Neon belts
I know someone asked about this not too long ago, but I did not see the
answer.
My Neon has started chucking the alternator and/or power steering belts.
The car is at the dealer right now and they have no idea why the belts keep
flying off. The belts have come off every day for the last 4 days.
If anyone has an answer as to why this is happening and how to prevent it,
please let me know.
Thanks
Jeff Parker
