Your front driver's side wheel fell off while you were slowing down to make a curve at about 25 mph. At the same time, you lost braking ability with no warning signs beforehand. This could involve checking the wheel hub assembly, lug nuts, and brake system components to determine why the wheel detached and what caused the brake failure.

Filed: Dec 1999

Your brake pads are wearing out very quickly—every 2,000 miles—and causing your vehicle to need a longer distance to stop, which nearly caused a crash. The dealer was unable to identify why this is happening. The fix will likely involve inspecting your brake system for wear, alignment issues, or damaged components that are causing premature pad deterioration.
