Consumer Description

THE WHEEL MELTED IN A MANNER THAT CAUSED IT TO COME OFF THE AXLE; THE RETAINING WHEEL NUTS WERE COMPLETELY BYPASSED AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. HAD MY SON BEEN ON THE FREEWAY.... PROBABLE SERIOUS INJURY TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS. K&S SERVICEMAN SAID HE HAD SEEN EVEN WORSE SITUATIONS WITH MELTDOWNS OF WHEEL. WHAT IDIOTS USE OTHER THAN STEEL FOR THE WHEEL? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS?
