 I was driving my saturn in downtown dayton, oh when wheel hub/axle broke, causing left rear wheel to separate from vehicle, and the vehicle to spin into a street sign. it was a cold cloudy day, but it was light, and there was no moisture. the road was bumpy at the scene of the accident, but certainly not enough to warrant a wheel breaking off. this incident was reported to saturn, who brought engineers here to hastily determine (without even speaking with me) that i drove the vehicle into the curb, causing the wheel to break off (which couldn't be farther from the truth). *ak
