On your car, a single belt drives the water pump, power steering pump and alternator. The belt has probably come loose and or has come off completely. Of course, don’t drive the car because if there is no functioning water pump, the car will immediately severely overheat and that will ruin the engine. If you request serpentine belt inspection/replacement a certified Mechanic, dispatched by YourMechanic right to your location, will get the belt issue resolved for you promptly. If it turns out that another, or additional issue, accounts for the problem you are reporting, the mechanic will address that too. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
