I have a 2009 Camry, always do its maintenance in Toyota dealer every 5000 miles. Its current mileage is 23,000 miles.
A few days ago, my daughter drove it to local post office (3 miles away) and came back with a bare rim in left front wheel (driver side). Its tire fell off totally from the wheel. She was so shocked and felt panic for the day. Luckily that is within local street where traffic is not heavy and speed is not high. Should this happen while anyone driving it on the highway, he or she might lose their life.
I have had a few times tire punctured incidents in the past, but I never have any experiences to see a tire totally falling off from the wheel. Neither had I heard anyone that I know had this kind of horrible story. Maybe in movies, but never in real life.
Toyota Motor has been through quality downgrade for the past few years. Numerous quality complaints and recalls make me wonder what is going on with the company. I am not sure if I shall keep my faith in it.
