RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STARTED MAKING CRACKING NOISES WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY AN EXPLOSION BLEW OUT THE WHEEL FROM THE DRIVING SHAFT MAKING THE CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. AFTER HITTING THE RIGHT MEDIAN OF THE ROAD AND BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP THE WHOLE WHEEL AND RIM HAD BLOWN OUT. THE REPAIRS COST OVER 45,000 USD AND IF DRIVING FASTER THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF IN THE HIGHWAY. *TR
