On left rear wheel, the nut which holds the tire to the spindle spun off of the axle/spindle assembly while driving on the interstate. The entire wheel/drum assembly parted from the vehicle and bounced off down the road as I was driving. Major mechanical failure in the parts which are machined not to come loose, but additionally there are no safety mechanisms to prevent this from happening again to other drivers or owners of this vehicle.
