“I purchased a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo from van trow motors, in jackson, mississippi, in september 2003. The right rear tire had a lug nut missing. The dealer said to just replace the lug bolt, that it had stripped. On 04 july, 2004, I had a flat on the left rear. Replacing the tire, another one lug bolt stripped, and a lug nut from a different lug bolt stripped. I took my flat tire to walmart to have the flat repaired. …”
NHTSA complaint #10079257, filed 2004-07, 98,950 miles“Lug nut bolt sheared off. I saw where others had same problem so it may not have been the dealer who broke it. The dealer replaced it but used a lug nut which has already rusted. I haven't tried to take the rusty lug nut off so I don't know if the bolt is rusted too. I will have to replace the lug nut, at least, before it rusts onto bolt. This sounds very dangerous and now I am so paranoid about one of my wheels falling off while I am driving it that I have to check all four tires every time I drive the vehicle. …”
