On a ride from pa to vt our front passenger wheel suddenly came off our Ford Explorer. My husband located 2 of the studs that had broken off. Thankfully we were off the major interstate and not going more than 35 mi an hour. The ford dealership said they could not fix till the following monday (the incident happened on a Friday) but the tow truck driver offered to repair and we were on the road again in a couple hours. He also checked the other wheels and found the lug bolts loose on the rear driver side. Our front fender was pushed back into the door frame so that the door grinds when opened and we were advised not to open the hood until we got home. We purchased a breaker bar at the auto shop and checked every bolt every 2 hours just to be sure. I'm hoping to find out if this is a common problem and if Ford is aware of it. Never been so frightened! Its scary to think of what the scenario might have been had we been on the interstate. Insurance should take care of the damage to the car and the tow.
