| Description of the problem | Over the last year, there has been several incidents with lug nuts coming loose while driving and causing loss if the lug nut and tire wobbling (noise). On 11/09/14, i was parking my vehicle driving under 5 mph and heard a loud pop. Once the vehicle was parked, i got out and looked by my driver side rear tire and see that lug nut and wheel stud broke off. I am scheduled to see the dealer tomorrow for a review of the issue and look for other damage. The ongoing issue of loose lug nuts is a great concern and makes me wonder if there is a bigger issue with faulty studs or wheel bearings. |
