Failure Date: 06/12/2014

While I'm driving from work I head a squeak noise. So I turn the ac off the noise stop but still hear time to time. I got home ok then I told my husband the problem, he took the car out for a test. As soon as back out the drive he can hear some thing fell off then the power steering stop working. He has to muscle the steering back to the drive. He open the hood and found out the harmonic balancer fell off. Lucky for me that did not happen to me while I'm on the free way. Oh my work only ten miles from my house.
