general problems of the 1997 Ford Escort

If my car wasn't sitting still when this part came lose I could have been in an accident. This should have never happened with this car. It shredded the belt that was attatched to this and came to rest on my timing belt and it had to be replaced. I know that the warenty is up and there is nothing that the dealership can do but I feel as though the car should be recalled before this happens again!.
