Just started driving on a long highway trip, 20 minutes into the drive with vehicle at temperature, ball bearing failed on a plastic idler pully on accessory drive, blowing apart the plastic pulls and damaging the belt, losing battery charging first, the overtemperature warning to immediately pull over on highway which I did. Had to tow to the dealer service center.

The engine mounts have failed on my car. I have only 14 thousand miles on the auto and do only city driving. Had this not been discovered during a routine oil change the results could have been catastrophic.
