Lumina 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,000 miles
All five bolts on the front passenger side of my vehicle broke at the same time, causing my entire wheel to fall off. Part of the bolts remained on the care and the other half of the bolts rolled down the street on the wheel. The mechanic says that it is not supposed to happen. I would like to know if this is a defect.

Wheel on driver's left side was loose and made a funny noise. He took vehicle to the dealer, and they couldn't find any problem. But, consumer insisted the noise was still there, it was a rambling noise.
