I was driving home from orange county on March 15, 2008 with my three children at around 8pm. I was traveling East on the 91 fwy when we began hearing a squeaking sound in my tires and my ABS light had come on, shortly after our journey home the squeaking sound was followed by a grinding sound as well. I began getting off to the shoulder and started hearing the sound of little things dropping to the ground, followed by more things hitting the ground and my steering wheel began pulling to the right, so I pulled over just under the Lincoln exit in corona. As I was coming to a stop the truck suddenly came to a hard stop, because my entire wheel came off!

My wife (ann garlatta - with our three children in the vehicle as well) was driving home and the ABS light came on, she heard noise in wheel while driving - like a squeaking & grinding, then the steering started to pull, and she started hearing the sound of pieces popping off, so my wife pulled over to the side of the 91 fwy, upon slowing down to the shoulder the car abruptly stopped as the front passenger side wheel fell off.

I have a 2005 Chevy Z-71. The wheel center caps fly off of the vehicle while driving. This has happened twice in the past month, and during the latest incident it almost caused a severe car accident. The center cap flew off of my driver's side rear wheel and hit an oncoming vehicle on the windshield. This caused the startled driver to wildly swerve back and forth into oncoming traffic behind me and almost cause a head-on collision. On a more minor note: These caps are a $70/ piece factory only item which should be covered under warranty when they fly off, but are not!
