What owners wrote
I had a car accident last friday on highway 75, at approximately the 248.7 mark. I was going at the speed limit, and all of a sudden the front wheel came off from axle end and hit divider wall on the interstate. I lost control of the car and bumped my head on the glass. My insurance company and the police told me that I don't need to file report since no other party was involved. I would to attached some pictures of the vehicle taken after the accident if possible.
Dt*: the contact discovered on a sunny day in march, while washing the vehicle, there were white spots covering the entire vehicle including the headlight covers and windshield. Upon inspection, by the dealer, it was determined the windshield, head light covers and all exterior windows needed to be replaced. All exterior panels need to be ground down to the metal and a corrosive protector has to be applied before the vehicle is repainted.
