Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The lug nuts on my vehicle seem to somehow loosen themselves. The front driver tire will make noise then I look at the nuts to find that they are loose. Then when I grab the tire iron to tighten them, they either a) came loose again later, or b) the nut completely comes off...with part of the part the nut goes on still inside. I mean the entire part breaks and can't be fixed without replacing the entire axle. As of right now there are only 3 of the 5 nuts holding the tire on and the others broke.”
