I own a 2004 honda cr-v. It has just 51,000 miles on it. Air conditioner compressor started making rattling sound . I understand if it breaks apart as it normally does, it sometimes can stop the motor if you were going slow enough. If you were on snow, it could skid the tires or the belt could break or maybe slip. The serpentine belt is very strong so there are times when this very well could be a safety issue. *tr
