Just my 2 cents but I had a 1990 Corolla that went 180K+ when it
broke. My 1999 Camry had 170K when it broke. I had a 1990Corolla that
had over 180K with the original belt. It's not good because the car
stops right where it is. No other damage. I don't own the 2 Corollas
but the Camry has a new belt and is running fine.

...and this is news because......?

The whole idea behind maintenance schedules are to prevent just what
you experienced.. And, if that's the first time the belts were ever
changed, you want WAY beyond any maintenance interval for changing
belts.

You would think that after the second belt failure, some light, even a
small wattage one, would of come on over your head.
