I have a 2004 Dodge Intrepid & the power steering belt broke, is it safe to drive to a repair shop or do I have to have it towed

Asked by tylynn Sep 24, 2007 at 12:04 PM about the 2004 Dodge Intrepid SE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving and it felt like the steering wheel locked up so I looked under the hood & I saw a belt loose at the front of the engine. I want to know if I can safely drive the car to a garage to avoid paying for a tow truck.

Yes, but take a route with little traffic because the steering will be much harder than non-power assisted cars.

You can but take it slow and be cautious when maneuvering. It will be MUCH harder to drive. Shouldn't hurt anything though.

OK, I also have a 2003 Dodge Intrepid Interceptor, it has been broken down for a little while with what I was told was a hole in the head gasket.
