| Description of the problem | The lug bolts have a thin chrome cover. These lug bolts seem to swell as moisture enters over time. They also become damaged as maintenance such as tire rotation is performed. They become impossible to remove with the tools supplied by the manufacturer in the event of a flat tire, leaving the vehicle stranded. I understand this is a well known problem throughout the fiat chrysler group line. |
