MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 HYUNDAI ACCENT IN WHICH ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH OURS EXCEPT THE DASH BOARD AIR BAGS DIDN'T INFLATE. AFTERWARDS WITHIN TWO WEEKS I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHO SHOULD I INQUIRE WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND I DID SEND AN EMAIL TO THE ADDRESS THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER GOT BANGED UP BUT ARE OKAY NOW.

APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES AFTER HAVING A 60,000 MILE SERVICE INVOLVING REPLACEMENT OF ALL BELTS, INCLUDING TIMING BELT USING HIGH QUALITY BELTS OF KNOWN QUALITY, A HIGH VOLTAGE ARCHING CONDITION IS OBSERVED ON THE FACE OF THE HARMONIC BALANCER (HB). ARCH IS APPROX. .250-.500 INCH IN LENGTH AND PROJECTS FROM THE OUTERMOST EDGE OF THE HB TOWARD THE CENTER OF SAME. USING A JUMPER CABLE CONNECTED TO THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL, ARCH CAN BE PULLED FROM THE OUTER EDGE OF HARMONIC BALANCER, BUT NO OTHER PULLEY SURFACE NOR BELT SURFACE. CONDITION IS INTERMITTENT AND FORCED REPRODUCTION HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE, BUT OCCURS WITH SUFFICIENT FREQUENCY TO PERMIT TROUBLESHOOTING. CONDITION HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED. AFTER EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSIS, IT APPEARS THE INSULATOR RUBBER BETWEEN MATING PARTS OF THE HB HAS DEGRADED RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE INTERNAL RESISTANCE WHICH RESULTS IN STATIC CHARGE GENERATED BY BELTS TO ESCAPE PULLEY INTERIOR, DISCHARGING OVER THE EXTERIOR SURFACE. UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS, THIS COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE EVENT SHOULD A COMBUSTION FUEL BE PRESENT; THEREFORE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER STATES NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE. REPLACEMENT HB ON ORDER AND IS EXPECTED IN ABOUT ONE WEEK. *TR

THEY TOLD ME THE SPARE ALREADY HAD A PLUG FROM A HOLE IN IT AND THAT THEY REPLACED THAT PLUG AND FILLED THE TIRE UP PROPERLY. HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER FLAT AND BEEN STUCK OUT THERE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS UPSET THAT THE NEW CAR I BOUGHT HAD A USED SPARE TIRE IN IT. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, CAR PROS IN LACEY, WA WAS SOLD TO TITUS-WILL IN OLYMPIA, WA, SO I CALLED THEM TO ASK WHAT DO I DO TO GET A NEW SPARE TIRE. THE GENERAL MANAGER CALLED ME AND AFTER DISCUSSING THE MATTER HAD HIS STAFF TAKE MY CAR TO LES SCHWAB TO PUT A NEW SPARE TIRE IN THE CAR. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER CARS WERE SOLD NEW WITH USED SPARE TIRES? IT ALSO MAKES YOU WONDER WERE THE TIRES ON THE CAR NEW OR OLD? THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR AND DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE TO CHECK. *JB
