Description of the problem	I have a 2004 kia sedona ex, and was returning home from a family vacation, was driving along and heard a loud noise come from the back passenger side, the van started shaking as if i had a flat tire, i started applying my brakes to pull over, then i heard a loud pop, the back corner went down. Out my rear passenger side window i looked and saw my entire wheel flying through the trees on fire. I had literally no stopping power, luckily i got my vehicle stopped safely because i had my family and mother in law with me at the time. I see there was a recall about this situation, but i don't remember any notification about it, and now i have to pay $2500 to have it fixed, the same amount i paid to go on vacation.
