problem #2

Corvette

  • 45,224 miles
2005 Corvette, 45,224 miles. Squeaking noise from engine accessory drive belts, clunking/ knocking noise at lower front of engine. Found crankshaft balancer retaining bolt backed out, crankshaft balancer moving forward. Had this bolt come out further, it would have damaged the steering rack, accessory belts coming off, loss of power steering, electrical, braking. This issue is known by GM/Chevrolet, tsb 05-06-01-001D. Vehicle was flat bed towed to dealer, they denied that there was a problem with the bolt, it just needed new belts. After threatening the dealer & GM with a lawsuit if the pulley came off and resulted in property damage or bodily injury, they would replace the pulley with the upgraded one & a new bolt per the tsb, but at customer expense. Repairs completed 2/10/2010. This vehicle was within the VIN number range for the tsb, but the dealer was more concerned where the paper copy of GM tsb 05-06-01-001D came from- this is public information. Please- make this issue a formal recall before someone gets hurt. NHTSA database shows at least 6 similar incidents, many others have not been reported to NHTSA.
