“The lugs: nuts snapped in half. The tire pushed into my passanger door and buckled. The tire then went under my car and lifted my car up ( like when you hit a curb but higher). Then the tire came out and rolled down the street. I ended up injuring my back. I had to get a tow truck to tow me home. I had to replace 4 of the lug nuts that broke I need a new tire, rim and fender I also have to have the door fixed. The passanger door will not open and I may have a small crack in the windshield. As of now all that has been fixed is the lug nuts. I still have bad back pains from this.”
