Wheel Bolts problem #1

While driving down the hghway at 65mph right front wheel came off. Consumer narrowly avoided an accident, getting vehicle off the road.

Wheel Bolts problem #2

When the car had approximately 2000 miles and 12000 miles,I took it to the dealership because of a rattling noise in the front of the car. They reported that one lug: nut was sheared off and another two were loose. This was their findings for both service calls. They had no explanation other than possible vandalism. I am certain that this would not be the case as the car is in a gargage at night and parked in a secure area during the day. I suspect a serious defect and feel this could be a life threatning.
