What owners wrote
I was driving down the highway at 50 MPH when I heard a loud noise coming from the back passenger side. Then I felt the car go out of control and I managed to safely get the car to the shoulder. My passenger door side airbag came out. When I got out of the car my tire was almost completely of the rim. I had my car towed to the repair shop and they said I needed a new axle, wheel bearing, control arm, rotor, rim and tire.
Vehicle in firestone, checking why heat blowing cool air, overheated twice since the repairs car has overheated 5 times, every time returned to shop they can't find a problem.
