98 Ford contour
MY problem involves starting car. Car screeched when starting and sometimes would not start. Took it to the dealer and tech stated starter and fan belt need replacement. I dont have the estimate in hand but it relates to something being stripped inside the components of the fan belt wheel? Anyways the estimated involved 9 hours of labor, I think taking it apart to replace the part involves a great deal of work. Can someone tell me what might have went wrong and why this happened when I have only 40k for mileage on car.Thanks
