Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND NOTICED A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. IT GOT WORSE AFTER A ROAD TRIP AND WE ISOLATED THE NOISE AS COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. WE INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND DISCOVERED ONLY ONE LUG NUT WAS HOLDING THE TIRE ON, AND 2 OF THE PINS HAD SHEARED COMPLETELY OFF. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE AXLE. AFTER CHATTING ABOUT THE ISSUE AT WORK I DISCOVERED A COWORKER HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN WITH HIS 2005 EXPLORER BUT HIS WHEEL ACTUALLY FELL OFF CAUSING $5,000 IN DAMAGE TO HIS VEHICLE (NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENT). IS IT POSSIBLE THERE IS SOME DEFECT?
