Right front axle assembly fell apart. We had just got off of I-90 when I pulled into mcdonald's and the front wheel disengaged as the axle completely fell apart.
The contact owns a 2003 Mercedes Benz c240. While driving approximately 5 mph, the contact attempted to make a turn and suddenly the front driver's side of the vehicle collapsed to the ground. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated the three wheel assembly bolts fractured. The parts were ordered and the contact was advised that the vehicle would be repaired when the parts became available. The contact planned to notify the manufacturer regarding the malfunction. The failure mileage was 163,000.
