Upper retaining nut came off right rear suspension trailing arm causing poor handling and a clicking noise over bumps and during parking lot maneuvers. A hole formed on the left rear brake line from rubbing against the body of the vehicle.

Complete loss of traction - spin out at 30mph while other cars passed me by normally. Felt like the rear end just could not stay on the road. Crawled 100 miles to the airport at 30-35mph with constant loss of traction most of the way on a moist highway. Car kept wanting to turn sideways. Tires looked good and still do. Tried shutting the trac on/off, no change either way. Could not keep the car straight on the highway as the rear end kept sliding all over the place. I feel like the traction control was locked in either the on or off position or, the emergency brake was on. Scary. This happened in southern Oregon, car was purchased in souther California. Dealer in or won't look at, since I can't reproduce effect.
