Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I had a tire blowout at 11:00 pm while driving on a freeway. I was unable to remove the wheel lug nuts using the lug wrench furnished with the car (I even tried standing on the hinged arm of the lug wrench) and was saved by a driver of a SUV who stopped to help. The lug wrench had an effective arm length of 9 inches and a arm diameter of about 3/4 inch. I later found out that the lug nuts are to be torqued to 100 ft-lbs. I then bought a torque wrench with an arm length of two feet and an arm diameter of 3 inches. …”
