“I was driving my 2017 Challenger rt with only 22k miles down a city street. And while approaching a stop sign and my front passenger wheel completely broke off. I was not able to stop or steering enough to control the direction of travel. Causing me to hit a gate and a street at a college. Sadly I'm suffering from a broke neck, femur, leg, ankle, fractured lungs and ribs, and a ruptured vessel in my heart. My wheels were never removed from car since I purchased it on 5/13/2020.”
