The serpentine belt will not cause massive damage when it fails
The battery will die and that's about it.
Gotta agree.

Belt R/R is a fine preventative item.

Question: Anybody ever have a belt fail on its own...not caused by a frozen pulley or other drive component?

I know it can happen but don't recall ever hearing anyone posting it before.
