Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving home from work on the freeway when my brake light and traction control lights came on and it felt like my back end was fishtailing. i pulled off the road and called aaa. as aaa was towing my vehicle, the right rear wheel came off. the wheel could not be located and to my knowledge did not cause any accidents or injuries to other vehicles. it was determined that the rear wheel bearing had failed and the repair bill was in excess of $2,900, including the damage that occurred to the rear spindle, control arm and suspension. my vehicle is a 2002 ford focus. the previous 2 model years were recalled for rear wheel bearing failure. *nm
