Well this happened a few days ago by my house. Bottom line is wheel fell off car at about 40 45 mph tried to save it but couldn't (Did manage to keep it out of someone elses property. Car had just been in to dealer for service not more than 100 miles earlier. (my girl took it to work twice since we got it back) I don't know the outcome yet. Adjuster hasn't been out to look at it yet. And there is an investigator coming out to see if the dealer is at fault to decide who is going to be penalized for the accident. Car has 33k on it. Says on reciept that they give a complementary brake check so I assume they pulled the wheel off to check and didn't put it back on tight. The holes inside the wheel are elongated from where it had been loose and the rotor scored a couple inside lines on the wheel as it was falling off. Wheel was found about 50' up from the car. I'm just glad I went for a ride and it happened to me and not to her on her way to work the next day. Do you guys think they will fix it or do you think it's being totalled? Bags aren't blown. But lower rad support is damaged and it did leak fluid.
