  Reported issue: The drive belt pulley on the engine can develop fatigue cracks in the metal and break. If the drive pulley breaks, the car would not have engine cooling, battery charging, and/or power steering.

  Possible consequence: Loss of these systems can cause the car to over heat, lose power from the battery, and loss of control of the car increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

  Remedy: Dealers will replace the engine crankshaft damper-pulley on these vehicles.
