My 2014 Fiesta ST with 46K miles lost its serpentine belt while I was on the freeway. The symptom was a lack of power. I managed to pull over and call for AAA and had it towed to a shop. There they diagnosed it as a failed serpentine belt resulting in needing a replacement idler pulley and A/C compressor among other things. They also said it may have overheated. In any event it was a $1,800 bill. Fortunately, the head gasket was ok.
Was surprised as I had it serviced in February and (with Covid 19 restrictions) drove it less than a thousand miles. Will keep an eye on this replacement belt, maybe have it changed by the time it gets to 80K.
