Consumer Description

STARTED HEARING SQUEALING SOUNDS A FEW WEEKS AGO. NOTICED THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY HAD A NOTICEABLE WOBBLE. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH & FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS ON FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND SUCH OF OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO MY FRIEND WITH THE SAME CAR BUT A NEWER YEAR JUST HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR IS OFF WARRANTY BUT A HARMONIC BALANCER SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT IN SIX YEARS WITH JUST 7,500 MILES (YES, SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED). MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION HAS 151K. CHEVROLET WANTS ABOUT $1,000 TO REPLACE IT. *TR *JS
