[Resolved]  Chevrolet Spark — Whole Wheel along with Excel came out While Driving on a Highway

Address:

Maharashtra

Hi,

I had bought a Chevrolet Spark last year in January 2010 from Astavinayak Showroom in Mumbai West.
Two days back my driver was driving on the highway and while on the flyover suddenly the back wheel came out. It came out along with the entire part where you actually fit the wheel.

The car was in a high speed and due to the wheel coming out the car was pushed on one side and the tyre went on the other.
There were 3 cars behind on the fly over (On Eastern Express Highway) which banged against each other. There was a lot of chaos and I was called to the police station after the incident and had to spend quiet a few hours there.

I called up Astavinayak and they said its not possible etc, but I towed my car and sent it to them. Yesterday they said it will take 4-5 days for me to get a feedback on the same.
Now irrespective of the time taken and the day lost for me, my most important concern is "How can the WHEEL just come out" . I hope you understand the risk involved due to the mishap.

I do regular servicing, its a new car and also have two other cars but never in my life have I heard about this.
This car was a gift for my wife and by Gods grace she was not there when this happened.

I genuinely want to understand, How can Chevrolet make such cars which cant be trusted.
A complaint is filed with Vikroli Police on the same
