Suzuki Kizashi SE 2010
-I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my serpentine belt keeps coming off my car, with two new pulleys and a new belt, I'm no mechanic so i may be saying some things wrong, but it has left me stuck in the rain before having to have someone come pick me up and them find the belt a few feet behind me, it has also come off when it is dry outside. I would love to keep my car running but I'm honestly confused. I may need a new battery too, so I had the dumb thought of maybe the crank pulley isn't pushing enough power so the belt isn't moving well enough to stay on I've turned the car on before and it didn't wanna turn over but it did the second time, its like it didn't get enough power. Im not sure how this stuff works so please don't be rude :lol:

You definitely need a new tensioner asm. Make sure your engine isnt leaking oil from valve cover, vvt control solenoid, and oil sender. All three want to leak right on the tensioner asm and belt. This destroys both . I stock almost all wear parts for these Kizashis and if there is anything you are having a problem getting, I can ship it to you. Just pm me.
