NHTSA Complaint #10282618 — 2006 LEXUS IS 250

I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT LAST FRIDAY ON HIGHWAY 75, AT APPROXIMATELY THE 248.7 MARK. I WAS GOING AT THE SPEED LIMIT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF FROM AXLE END AND HIT DIVIDER WALL ON THE INTERSTATE. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND BUMPED MY HEAD ON THE GLASS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE POLICE TOLD ME THAT I DON'T NEED TO FILE REPORT SINCE NO OTHER PARTY WAS INVOLVED. I WOULD TO ATTACHED SOME PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE TAKEN AFTER THE ACCIDENT IF POSSIBLE. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE ALL OF 5 BOLTS ARE STILL ATTACHED ON THE TIRES . IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND ASTONISHING THAT A HIGHLY REPUTABLE CAR MAKER WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SUCH POOR QUALITY ON THE BODY STRUCTURE. THERE WAS NO SIDE COLLISION AT THAT TIME, AND I WHEN THE TIRE CAME OFF LOOSE IT SCRATCHED AND MADE DAMAGES TO THE CAR. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS AT DEALER SHOP, WAITING FOR INSPECTION. I SINCERELY HOPE LEXUS OR NHTSA CAN START INVESTIGATING ON THIS MATTER AND PROVIDE ME AN EXPLANATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NO CAR OWNER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED ANY PART OF THEIR CAR TO BE DETACHED WHILE ON THE ROAD WITH NO REASON. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. *TR
