idler pulley for a 1998 ford explorer

TO THE FORD COMPANY,

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WITH MY CHILD ON BOARD WHEN I ROUNDED A CURVE AND I LOST MY STEERING AND I WAS HEADED IN TO ONCOMMING TRAFFIC.

MY IDLER PULLEY PEELED OPEN LIKE AN ORANGE AND BROKE MY FAN BELT CAUSING NORMAL FUNCTIONS TO SHUT DOWN. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PULLEY OR WAS IT DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY. THIS WAS A ORIGINAL FORD FACTORY MADE PULLEY

I HAVE ENCLOSED A PHOTO ON THIS PULLEY.

PLEASE CONTACT ME AT JANE LEW WV 26378,

MRS. KAY B

Idler pulleys don't just 'peel open'--there is a slow degradation process that can take weeks, and it is up to the driver to recognize the SHRILL SCREAM of a failing belt pulley. The fact that you are stupid enough to endanger your children in a vehicle with failing parts says it all.
