| Description of the problem | Since purchasing my 2012 jeep gc, lugnuts have become loose and at times fall off the stud while driving. Regardless of how well, or how many times the lug nuts are torched down, they become loose and fall off. I have replaced over 5 wheel studs because they break off under pressure and twice as many lug nuts at $12 a piece. Each repair has cost me over $150 a visit for stud repair. While moving from minnesota to california, my lug nuts became so loose on my wheel the wheel almost fell off going 80 mph. This is a serious and dangerous problem. My vehicle has less than 85,000 miles on it. |
