Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving at 60mph highway limit. Without warning or vibration, front passenger wheel bearing broke off, sending the tire/wheel flying off the highway hill, down the access road, and smashing against a bank stone wall, after it broke through a 2nd stand alone stone wall. Lucky we could stop the truck without flipping over and lucky flying wheel/tire did not hit any vehicles, as it happened during lunch traffic hours. Bearing completely broke off. Was made responsible for second hand collision, property damages, and txdot $400 towing charges.”
