Three days ago, my husband was driving my vehicle listed above, three wheels were spinning one way, the fourth was spinning the opposite direction and now that rim is messed up and broken. What would cause the fourth to spin opposite the other three wheels? How does he fix it?

Is it a rear wheel that is spinning backwards? So, it is burning rubber the whole time you drive? Can you upload a short video of the problem? It sounds like the rear differential is having an issue.

Yes, it was a rear wheel. I cannot upload a video because I'm not with the vehicle, but thank you for answering.
