My car has started to eat alternator belts -- they last approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Has anyone had this problem -- any suggestions?

Wow that's an expensive appetite! I've never had a belt last shorter than the 60000 mile recommended replacement interval.

Are you getting the same person to install the belt everytime. Are they over- or under-tightening it? Has something caused misalignment of the pulleys? Look down and see if the pulleys line up.

Have you tried a different belt source? Perhaps your supplier got a bad batch.

Are the belts shearing or coming off?

it may be because the belt is loose. take it back to where u got it installed and have them check it.

i had same prob.

i had the same problem and it was because one of the pulleys was locked up so try turning the idler pulley.
