Pivot bolt on the auto-tensioner broke twice. The first time the pivot bolt broke was after i had the alternator replaced and i was driving down the highway to take children to school in subzero winter conditions. I barely made it home as my van was running only on the battery. If i had stalled along the road, me and my children were at risk of hypothermia or possibly death due to frigid -40 cold weather. I then had…

Hello, i have a 2010 honda odyssey. 2-3 months ago my wife had to pull our van over the road because of a significant shaking (vibration) of the whole vehicle. She got pretty scared and gave me a call. Then, we took the vehicle to the dealer that we had purchased. We have been told that spark plugs had oil leaked through the engine. They replaced the spark plugs and the issue of significant shaking was resolved.…
