“At approximately 5 am while driving east on I-84 in oregon I was negotiating a curve in the freeway at approximately 70 MPH when a heard vibration and seconds later my right front wheel became detatched completely. A state patrol officer stopped and called a tow truck for me to the nearest garage. After 2 days of repairs I was able to drive my vehicle back home. The total cost of repair was$798.95. The work that was done to the vehicle was: relaced rotor, replaced ball joint, replaced spindel (steering knuckle), lugs, lug nuts, caps, wheel and tire.”
