| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving home from work when the front right tire appeared to blowout causing the car to skid in the curb. my husband came and put the little spare on and i was to take it a dodge dealer the next morning for them to inspect the tire for abnormalities, etc. about a half block from the original blowout the car suddenly swerved into the center lane and the front end appeared to drop and i gained control of the car and got it to the right lane and the car stopped without me putting it in park. i then put it in park and got out to see what it was and found that the spare tire had broken off the axel and was pushed into the wheel well and the front end of the car was actually sitting on the ground with all the fluids draining out into the street. i heard and felt a loud crunch sound thinking someone had either hit me or i hit somebody else. unfortunately, that was not the case. i had the car towed and it will arrive at the dealership in the morning for them to assess the damage to the engine, transmission, frame and and wheel axels. i have had no other complaint with my car except for the radio/cd player which was replaced with a new player.....the radio however is still not working right. i was not hurt during either incident, but, i do believe seeing the damage to the car was some kind of defect in order to create that sort of damage. i would appreciate any help that someone may be able to offer or at least investigate the car. thank you very much for timely attention into this matter. |
