Question Did the dealer tell the truth?????

Steve and anyone else,

I am not sure if the dealer is telling the truth about the condition of the harmonic balancer. At first it was said to be broken and then when they denied the towing charges they said it was cracked.
  1. Would a "cracked" harmonic balancer cause the belt to lose tension?
  2. Or, does the harmonic balancer need to "break" in order to create a loud noise and cause the belt to become loose?
It seems logical that if there just a bad tensioner the belt would have become loose and the battery light would have gone on. The loud noise cannot be explained to me by just a bad tensioner. Can anyone shed some light on this subject
