Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A harmonic balancer should never fail on a "stock" car, i was told that this part has a very common failure rate.i used to drag race and build engines and only under racing conditions do stock harmonic balancers fail,never on a street stock condition car.i think that this is a saftey hazzard because if it does fly apart it may come thru the hood of the car or maybe thru the firewall, it may even damage the front right tire and cause a sudden blowout.i still have the one i replaced on my car if you would like to examine it. thank you!!!
