I am filing this complaint for my father. He have a 2005 chevy silverado. My father was driving straight down a street at about 35 MPH when the drivers side rear axle and tire came off the vehicle. The result was body damage to the vehicle. Luckily no bodily injury or proper damage occurred other than that done on my father vehicle. As it turns out the retainer button on the end of the axle shaft was broken off allowing the axle to come out of the axle housing.
