Passenger side rear wheel "knuckle" broke off where support arm to vehicle attaches. This causes rear wheel assembly to loose structural support. Rear wheel is then free to twist in all directions causing loss of control of the vehicle. At highway speeds this can cause a catastrophic accident. The "knuckle" is cast aluminum and has no moving parts which can wear out.

On my way from work from downtown baltimore, while going north on the ramp of I-395 the steering became unresponsive. First, the Cirrus ran into the left barrier, and it pick up speed across the ramp and hit the right barrier. There was no controling or stopping the Cirrus. Since I was by myself , there was no witness, and the highway was clear and dry.
