I was driving my Ford Explorer and my tire on the driver frontside went out and my steering wheel locked up on me and then my vehicle hit the curve and flipped over 15 or 16 times before it stopped I was feeling all over the road I had my set belt on but my air bags never came out and I was only going 25 or 30 and I was on a city street turning into the next lane when the tire went out and my vehicle flipped yes police account report #170042354 I'm not sure what happened I was in shock that it happened so quickly and I was happy to be a live my Ford Explorer is totally destroyed.
Consumer's son was driving on dry pavement street and the vehicle fish tailed without warning. There were witnesses to this. The front right side wheel with tire intact came out. The vehicle leaned and flipped, and tipped over. It landed halfway on sidewalk and halfway in street. Emergency crews were called. Vehicle has not been to a dealer, and has not had any repairs done.
The right front wheel assembly disconnected from axle and separated from vehicle, causing loss of control.the vehicle left the road durin an evasive maneuver to avoid a collision with another vehicle at which time the assembly failed.
Driver hear strange rumbling noise coming from vehicle then was unable to maintain control of steering. Vehicle veered to the right and struck rear of a parked vehicle. The front right wheel had fallen off due to a broken upper control arm. The air bags did not deploy.
