One of my 20-inch Aero wheel covers fell off while driving on the highway. It was a busy highway and past midnight, so I did not take a chance to go searching for it.
It was a crazy Day/Night, with two almost certain collisions which could have resulted in a very bad situation. 1'st one happened when the emergency brakes kicked in because I had the dream drive set to early notification, and the car in front of me suddenly stopped because the guy in front of him also suddenly stopped. The car behind me would have hit my rear hard if he had not pulled a split second earlier to the left lane. The 2nd incident happened when a truck randomly stopped in the middle of the night while driving at least 60 miles. A car was in front of me, and he almost hit the truck. Luckily, I had changed the dream drive setting to the late warning option by then, so it did not trigger a sudden break but was still a controlled stop, and I could switch lanes before other cars piled up behind the vehicle in front of me. Lucking, no one hit anyone. Not sure if the truck driver just dozed off.
The wheel cover incident was the 3rd incident in the eventful day/night. Has anyone had this happen? And if so, how was it replaced?
Also, what is the range or efficiency of the Touring without the 20" aero wheel covers? The efficiency was about 3.5 today on a long stretch when I had all 4.
I don't want to risk another incident if this happens again and damages the door panels.
Please share any pics if anyone has removed the 20" aero covers and is happy with the looks.
