“I was traveling down rt 33 in pa near near the snydersville exit when the car started shaking uncontrolably. It became very difficult to control the car. I pulled off to the shoulder. I walked around the car & saw that the hub cap was missing. The wheel was barely being held on the car by two posts with none of the nuts on them. Three posts had broken off. I learned from the tow truck driver that this is not an unusual problem with aluminum wheels. I mentioned the incident to my cousin and he told me it had happened to him twice. …”
