“The left front wheel nearly fell off our 2002 yukon 1500 slt. We had just stopped to pay a toll on the maine turnpike. As we drove out of the toll booth, my husband had difficulty controlling the vehicle. A terrible grinding noise came from the left front end of our car. The ABS light flashed on. Gripping the wobbly steering wheel, my husband guided the vehicle across several lanes of traffic into the narrow breakdown lane. The left front wheel was almost completely off the vehicle. …”
