| Description of the problem | On 10/17/04 while driving to work i heard a noise like i had a flat, when the vehicle was checked there was no flat. I drove the vehicle to the nearest exit. When i attempted to move the vehicle the whole tire fell off the vehicle, the rear drivers side . The vehicle was towed to the dealer where new parts were ordered. In my opinion i dont feel safe driving this vehicle because it could happen again and next time i might not be luckey. I could have killed or my whole if they were with me. |
