| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We were about 30 miles from home on our return trip from ohio to iowa when, while accelerating out of a rest area, steering column began shaking vigorously. we began to slow from 60-65mph and merged into the right lane. while the vehicle was going around 50mph the right front end dropped and the right front tire bounced off into a field. we retained control of the vehicle and pulled over without injury. upon examination, the tire studs had all broken clean off. all except two were lost. the two had a locking mechanism. the damage due to the collision with the road after the wheel fell off was covered by our insurance, though technically the initail mechanical failure did was not, though since the studs were part of the rotor which was damaged they were replaced with the rotor. the parts damaged and replaced include the rotor, front brakes, control/stabilizing arm, right fender and passenger door. |
