Description of the problem	In november of 2015, i was on my way home from work and just picking my one year old up from daycare, when i heard a loud screeching noise from a belt. My gauges went wild and i my power steering was in and out. By the time i hit the main highway to get home as i was exiting my power steering went completely out and the car could not be driven any further, so i had to coast to the side of the road. This was during rush hour traffic, i am soooo lucky that i hadn't quiet entered the highway yet. Had to get towed home. Got home and noticed the crankshaft bold was broken and the belts were thrown. We fixed it and now it has just done it again on july 1st as i was backing out of the driveway to go out of town. I didn't drive it because i knew the bolt was about to break because the harmonic balancer pulley was wobbling really bad, the air wouldn't work and the gauges started going crazy. Also the pulley's were struggling to spin. Is it going to take someone to loose their life before something is done about it?
