Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving on freeway at approx. 50-55 mph, the front left side suddenly jolted downward, sparks and smoke were viewed by both side view and rear view mirrors, i slowly applied brakes thinking it was only a blow out but from the grinding metal against cement sound, i realized it was much worse than a blow out. When finally coming to a complete stop, i saw the whole wheel completely sheared from the front suspension, fortunately, the wheel lodged itself inside the wheel well and the running board on the driver side door. It could have easily gone underneath and caused the vehicle to flip over or even into other vehicle's on road. Fortunately, no one else or other vehicles were involved. After insurance company adjuster inspected they determined it to be totaled. I find this extremely upsetting, do i have any recourse? There could have easily been two fatalities. Please help!!! I believe after reviewing other incidents like this, there should have been some type of responsibility from toyota. I had no idea there were so many suspension issues with this vehicle... The insurance will not give me enough to offset the loss i incurred.
