Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Heard noise from engine compartment. upon investigation noticed idle pulley was vibrating and make the sound. i investigated online at www.nissanmurano.org for similar problems. i found a series of reports that the bracket that holds the idle pulley was broken. i disassemble the pulley and found the bracket broken. upon examination of how the bracket broke seem that the bracket is underdesigned. the crack seems to indicate that the bracket broke by bending fatigue. i saved all the bracket pieces and i going to evaluate under a microscope. the failure to this idle pulley could lead to an alternator not providing energy to the car and a more serious consequences. *nm |
