Consumer Description

2005 NISSAN MURANO - 66K MILES. ALTERNATOR TENSION ARM SNAPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING, ALSO CAUSING A CRACK IN THE TIMING COVER. THERE HAD BEEN A SQUEAKING NOISE IN THE DAYS LEADING UP THE FAILURE. ONCE THE ARM BROKE THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW. THE TENSION ARM, BRACKET, BELTS AND TIMING COVER NEED TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE THE TIMING COVERS PLACEMENT, IT WILL REQUIRE PULLING THE ENGINE OUT. *TR
