Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Lug nuts have started swelling or ballooning and have started breaking. 3 lug nuts have ballooned where they are no longer tight on the stud. The other lug nuts can't be removed without breaking the stud. If I'm have a flat, I may not be able to change the tire without breaking the lug stud.”
NHTSA complaint #11165292, filed 2019-01, 97,000 miles“This Jeep has 36,000 miles and my tires are worn completely out. Most vehicles will get a good 60,000-70,000 before needing to replaced. I'm very unhappy about this. This Jeep yr and model has many recalls. Just got another for the alternator, which dealership has strongly suggested not to leave town, because the new part is not made yet. So between tires and alternator I feel like I'm grounded to my home town.”
