On [XXX], at or around midnight, I was traveling [XXX] at approximately 60 mph. The traffic was very light, with few vehicles on the road. It was raining, and I was in the number 1 lane. Two additional lanes were to my left, reserved for toll road traffic. I did not see any other vehicles on [XXX], nor did I see any vehicles to my left in the toll lanes. There was a physical separation between [XXX] and the toll road, consisting of 36-inch plastic candlestick dividers with approximately 10-foot separations. As I was traveling, I suddenly felt a lurch, and the right rear of my 2006 Chevrolet Silverado (Vin# [XXX] ) dropped. My pickup truck immediately began to spin to my left, forcing me into the toll lanes and into the concrete center divider. When my vehicle came to rest, I was facing eastbound in the westbound lanes of the toll road. My lights were no longer except a single amber light flashing, which gave limited warning to approaching vehicles. The California Highway Patrol arrived (unknown why no traffic collision report was taken), my vehicle was removed from the roadway, the right rear wheel and tire had separated from the vehicle and rolled to the right shoulder of [XXX] 150 yards from where my pickup came to rest. The vehicle was towed to the tow yard, where a vehicle inspection was conducted on March 19, 2025. The right rear wheel and tire for some reason were not recovered from the collision scene. The inspection revealed the cause of the collision was a broken/severed axle, not related to driver error. Photographs of the broken axle were taken and are available for review. The axle clearly had a manufacturing defect, poor casting or forging. The defect appeared to be an ongoing problem and separated from the vehicle at the time of the collision for no apparent reason. Depending on the time of day, traffic conditions, and the number of passengers, the collision had the potential to be much worse.

WHILE APPROACHING A ONE LANE BRIDGE ON DRY, CLEAN PAVEMENT AT APPROX 10 MPH I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE TO LINE UP WITH THE BRIDGE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO BRAKE, WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYED ON AND A LOUD NOISE CAME FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL WELL. I CLOSELY MISSED HITTING THE RAIL OF THE BRIDGE (WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A 20FT PLUNGE OFF THE BRIDGE) AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER 20 TO 25 FT WHILE ON THE SLIGHT DOWN HILL GRADED SLOPE. NO MATTER HOW I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND I UTILIZED MY TRAINING AS AN EMERGENCY APPARATUS DRIVER AND PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO A LOWER GEAR AND DRIFTED IT INTO AN EMBANKMENT TO STOP. I THEN BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE EMBANKMENT AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED FINE BUT THE ABS LIGHT REMAINS ON. AS I SEE WITH OTHER POSTS THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE SILVERADO THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
