While driving at 50 mph, your car shook heavily and you had to pull off the road. You discovered the passenger-side wheel had fallen off because one of the screws holding the strut assembly came loose and fell out. The dealer will need to reinstall the missing screw and inspect the strut assembly to ensure it's properly secured.

Your rear tire became loose and wobbly, accompanied by loud bumping sounds while driving. Upon inspection, the strut mounting bracket fell through a rusted hole in the car's frame. The frame rust appears to be localized to this area and has caused the rear suspension to detach from the vehicle structure, making the car unsafe to drive.

NHTSA #: 10045580
