| Jun 2020151750 miUS $251 | As I pulled out of a business driveway onto urban state highway, halfway around the turn, sudden and unexpected loud 'bang' and car slammed into a sudden stop with loud grinding sound. I limped it to the first safe place to pull in and called for road service. Trucked it to the place I bought it and that does my routine maintenance. Turned out to be problem caused by extreme rusting of driver's side brake/wheel. A large piece of rust had broken loose and jammed the brake, scored the rotor severely. No problem since it was taken apart, cleaned, replaced the damaged part. | ||
