My crank pulley/harmonic balancer came completely apart, disintegrating at the rubber interface.
I had almost no warning. Started it up and within a quarter mile a bunch of metallic clattering and squealing, then I lost power steering and the alternator. Pulled into a parking lot and the outer ring of the crank pully fell out on the ground.
Amazingly, no damage to fan, radiator, or serpentine belt.
I don't think I've read about this before as a point of failure.
