Description of the problem | I was driving home from orange county on march 15, 2008 with my three children at around 8pm. I was traveling east on the 91 fwy when we began hearing a squeaking sound in my tires and my abs light had come on, shortly after our journey home the squeaking sound was followed by a grinding sound as well. I began getting off to the shoulder and started hearing the sound of little things dropping to the ground, followed by more things hitting the ground and my steering wheel began pulling to the right, so i pulled over just under the lincoln exit in corona. As i was coming to a stop the truck suddenly came to a hard stop, because my entire wheel came off! |
