Pulled out at stop sign no cars were comming but car shut off was hit front drivers side car was fixed but still shuts off at idle or moving honda at greencastle pa says they can't find problem.
We were normally driving the vehicle when a strange noise started under the hood. Upon investigation you could observe the main pulley wobbling. The vehicle was immediantely brought to a repair facility. Upon inspection it was found that the bolt from the main pulley into the crankshaft was damaged. When a wrench was placed on the bolt it broke off. It was apparent that this bolt was installed stripped which resulted in this failure. Pictures of the bolt are available. The vehicle was towed to a honda dealership.
