| Wheel problems |
Spare tire holder rusted and broke free while the vehicle was in motion. Full size spare fell off and was lost on highway/road. The full size spare sits under the rear body of car, as such when the securing system failed I did not realize that and the wheel had dropped. The missing wheel wasn't realized until I experienced a flat tire.
Right front chrome wheel broke and fell off while driving, all five spokes broke spontaneously as though the wheel was made defectively.
