Consumer Description

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. WHILE DRIVING HOME ,THE CRANK BOLT WHICH HOLDS THE ENGINE PULLEY, CAME UNTREATED FROM THE CRANKSHAFT. THIS DISINTEGRATED ALL THREE BELTS, AND I LOST THE POWER STEERING. AT 65 MPH, THIS IS RATHER AN UN-NERVING EXPERIENCE! HAD THIS HAPPENED TO A SMALL WOMAN, SHE MIGHT HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 10 INSTANCES OF THE CRANK BOLT COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE. *AK
