“There was not any event leading up to the failure. I own an Acura 1998 CL. Coming home from vacation yesterday on route 79 in west virginia, going 70 miles/hour, my right front axle bearing just broke in half, and my wheel fell off causing me to lose control of my vehicle.

“The contact owns a 1998 Acura CL. On august 20, 2007, the check engine light illuminated and remained lit when the vehicle was started.

The current mileage was 108,000 and failure mileage was 107,940.”
