“My wife owns a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and the complaint I've got is about the lug nuts. I had to replace the rear brake pads, brake shoes and rotors.

I was very close to a repair facility that I sometimes use, so I slowly drove there. They looked at the car and showed me that the rear driver-side wheel was about to fall off. They then raised the car in the shop and told me that the rear upper-control arm had rusted through and broken, causing the wheel to break off. They showed me a photo of this. …”
