| Description of the problem | Today after i loaded up my family into my 2005 dodge caravan i started to drive off to head to the store. After driving a couple of feet i realize that i have a flat. While i was loosening the lugnuts so i could take off the tire, two of the bolts that held the tire in place snapped while they were still attached to the lugnut. I also noticed that was already a bolt that was missing from the drum. Therefore, now i only have 2 working bolts on the drum and both of them look pretty worn. The vehicle i have was purchased not even 2 years previous from a car dealership. I was also told by a friend of the family who owned a 2003 that they had the same problem with the bolts on their tire drum. |
