problem #1

Dec 282005

Accord 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,400 miles
I drove my vehicle on a highway in the rain over one month ago. When the vehicle went with speed of about 50 miles/hour, the wheel cover (trim) of right front tire (passenger side) broke all the sudden, and a significant part of the wheel cover flew out after rounds of rotation with high speed very nearly hitting other moving vehicles. As a result, the wheel cover itself is completely damaged, the pint of the body around the right front tire is seriously scratched, and some minor damages around. This is a serious vehicle safety issue caused by defective part. As a result, I have to replace the defective wheel cover with a new one. Also, I need to get body repainted at the right front side with other repairs. The old broke part is available now.
