What owners wrote
I was on the moterway {uk} towing a caravan I was doing 45/50 MPH truck past me by and made us sway I gained control and then the car&caravan started bouncing. Caravan parted from the car and then we flipped over on to the passinger side and then rolled onto the roof across 3 lanes.
While driving front hub came off the vehicle, side unknown. This caused the consumer to lose steering control. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
