While driving on a city street, the cable holding the spare tire (spare tire carrier part #51900-0E012) under the car, broke and spare tire and accessories for it fell into street into traffic creating a hazzard

Spare tire holder rusted and broke free while the vehicle was in motion. Full size spare fell off and was lost on highway/road. The full size spare sits under the rear body of car, as such when the securing system failed I did not realize that and the wheel had dropped. The missing wheel wasn't realized until I experienced a flat tire.

Recently, while driving down the highway, my 2004 Lexus Rx 330 started making a "howling" sound (for lack of a better description). Upon hearing this disturbing noise, I immediately drove it right to my local dealership (ira) in peabody, Massachusetts. They determined it was the bearing and hub assembly in my left rear wheel. I was told this is a very dangerous condition that must be repaired immediately. This ended up costing me $676.87 (11/14/14). This isn"T the first time this has happened with this car. It happened March 3, 2011 and it cost me $704.35 then. I have had at least 6 cars during my driving history and none of them ever had any bearing and/or hub problems and this happens twice with same car??" it is important to note that my previous cars were less expensive cars; brands that may be expected to have more issues than Lexus; Honda's, Pontiac's, Nissan's, and Chevy's.
