2013 Subaru Outback Wheels Problems

Driver side rear wheel bearing speed sensor experienced a spontaneous failure, leading to ABS failure and nearly lost control when rapidly decelerating from 45mph to 0mph in a short left turning lane. Failure occurred in well maintained 2013 Subaru Outback with less than 70,000 miles on it. Vehicle immediately lit up several dashboard lights (CHECK ENGINE, CRUISE CONTROL, ABS, and BREAK lights) indicating the car was unsafe to drive at moderate/high speed following the incident. ABS failure could have led to an accident in inclement weather. Wheel bearing is being replaced by mechanic.

ALLOY WHEELS FAILURE. THE WHEELS HAVE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE (LARGE CRACK AND HOLE IN CENTER OF RIM) WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THERE WERE NO POT HOLES OR DEBRIS IN HIGHWAY. LOCATION: EXIT 1, US 7 IN NORWALK CONNECTICUT. DATE/TIME: AUGUST 23, 2019 @ 6:00PM IN FULL DAYLIGHT.

REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILURES. BOTH REPLACED AT 89,967 MI. DEALER ADVISES THERE IS SOME RISK IF ONE DROVE ON A LONG DRIVE, THAT OVERHEATING COULD ALLOW ENTIRE WHEEL TO FALL OFF. SOUND IS NOTICEABLE OVER 40 MPH SO MOST PEOPLE WOULD GET SUSPICIOUS AND ASK A MECHANIC.
