The front wheel, hub and all, fell off my uncles new Citation while he was doing 45 mph on a road about a 1/4 mile from the dealership. He called the factory and told them he was going to leave the car right where the wheel fell off and put a great big side on it reading "Lemon from your local Chevy dealer". Within an hour after his call, they had picked up his car and called him with "sorry" about your problem and they did repair it and from then on, anytime he took his car into the shop for work, he went to the head of the line for repairs.
