1. engine started knocking ( mileage 68,000 ) 2. engine shut down and would not restart 3. a mechanic checked and found the harmonic balancer was loose on the crankshaft. in the attempt to remove the harmonic balancer, the mounting bolt broke off flush with the crank shaft and appears to have been cross threaded from the factory. the harmonic balancer was not pulled all the way up causing the failure. due to the hardness of the mounting bolt and the crank shaft, removal of the broken bolt is impossible. the engine will need an overhaul to repair the problem and of course the warranty has just expired. ( please advise ). *tr |
