Consumer Description

FAILURE OF SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER PULLEY SHAFT RESULTED IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING CONTROL FOLLOWING ENGINE START IN A PARKING LOT. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP, WHICH REQUIRED REMOVAL AND REINSTALLATION OF THE TENSIONER PULLEY. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE SHAFT FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF OVERTORQUE FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, OR THE RESULT OF A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE CONCERN IS A FAILURE IN TRAFFIC RATHER THAN AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT. THIS SHAFT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *TR
