Wheel Bolts problem #1

While driving 60 mph all five wheel studs sheared off without warning. As a result the rear passenger side wheel separated. No impact reported. Please provide additional information.

Wheel Bolts problem #2

At approximately 5 am while driving east on I-84 in oregon I was negotiating a curve in the freeway at approximately 70 mph when a heard vibration and seconds later my right front wheel became detatched completely. A state patrol officer stopped and called a tow truck for me to the nearest garage. After 2 days of repairs I was able to drive my vehicle back home. The total cost of repair was$798. 95. The work that was done to the vehicle was: relaced rotor, replaced ball joint, replaced spindel (steering knuckle), lugs, lug nuts, caps, wheel and tire.
