On or about November of 2002 it was found that my front calipers had become severely warped, large portions of steel were gouged out and rotor was replaced by the dealer under warranty. This defect led to consequental damage by wearing out the upper ball joints prematurely. The vehicle only has 45,000 miles and at the time of the repair had just over 37,500 miles.

One of the bolts holding the brake caliper either sheared off or fell out. The brake caliper rotated and contacted the wheel. This contact cracked the wheel, resulting in nearly instantaneous deflation of the tire and locked the wheel.

Vehicle began to pull to the right and was forced into the guardrail, the front right tire had a broken steering knuckle and the brake pad on front was completely worn down, the pins in the caliper had gotten rust on them and were not functioning properly, this was possibly the cause of the accident.
