Consumer Description

THE CRANK SHAFT PULLEY FAILED AND CAUSED THE DRIVE AND V-BELT TO SEPARATE FROM ALL REMAINING PULLEYS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, I LOST POWER STEERING TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS FORTUNATE I WAS NOT TRAVELLING ON A CURVY COUNTRY ROAD OR I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ALIVE TO WRITE THIS REPORT. AS IT WAS IT TOOK A LOT OF STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE CLEAR OF THE ROADWAY. THE PARTS DISTRIBUTOR TOLD MY MECHANIC THEY WERE SHIPPING AN AVERAGE OF 55 REPLACEMENT CRANSHAFT PULLEYS A MONTH.*AK
