Wife wuz drivin from PA. 1/2 way through, looses power steering,
generator, brake power assist. Manages to finish the journey. I pop the
trunk, take a quick look. Big @ss pulley seemed to just fall off it's
axis and naturally, the generator and I'd imagine the pumps that
provide power assists for steering and braking, were not driven. The
view was obstructed by radiator, but still it looked bad nuff.

Evacuated thing to dealer, got it back 2 weeks later: crankshaft
pulley, sprocket, bolt were all replaced. Didn't cost me a penny, but
still whatta pain in the butt ! Not sure if there was an advisory on
it. They wont be able to check on it w/o removing radiator.
