[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 293317, member: 7328"] Nothing too exciting for me. Had the brakes go out once on me but it was due to a seal that came loose and the brake fluid slowly leaked out on the rear tires and I noticed it losing pedal with each stop so I was able to stop it and call automotive. Lost a rear caliper once and had to hand brake it back to the building. Went down a huge hill with a blind curve right by the building and I did it very slowly in case cars were stopped for some reason. Of course, there was due to one of the lanes being closed due to construction at the bottom of the hill. I still don't know how I got it stopped but I did. A few weeks ago, a driver in our center had his steering wheel come completely off as he was getting onto the expressway just after leaving the building. He crossed two lanes before stopping and hit nothing. He did have to change his pants after though. LOL! He had sheeted his truck up the day before because it wouldn't stay cranked and the mechanic forgot to bolt the steering wheel back on. We got a few days of "pre-trip" PCM's because it could've been avoided if he would've pulled hard enough on his wheel before leaving the building. [/QUOTE]
