2016 Jeep Renegade Wheels Problems

“The lug nut wrench doesn’t fit the lug studs due to the shiny cap on each stud. I had to use a hammer to force the wrench on to the studs in order to remove them. I replaced all studs with aftermarket studs without any beauty cover allowing a 17 mm wrench to remove the studs.”

“Understanding the vehicle is not under wheel stud recall but it needs to be. The exact same thing happened to my Renegade as the recall states. At the Jeep dealer because the wheel came off when my wife was driving. Towed to Jeep dealer and all stud/ nuts are stressed and stretched and causing this life threatening situation. Wrong tourque specs published. Luckily my wife wasn’t hurt or killed. I have attached pictures and video. Talked to Jeep customer care with no help. This is a very serious situation and needs to be addressed.”

“The wheel lug nuts are ballooned. This makes it impossible to remove the wheel without breaking the wheel stud. This is apparently a common problem with some Jeep models. I was told this on my last two visits for service at the Clovis, CA Jeep dealer. On both visits, they were unable to rotate the tires. On my last visit, 10/06/2022 (53,231 miles on the odometer), I ordered at my expense a full set of wheel studs (20) to solve the issue. The parts have still not arrived. This is my teenage daughters car. …”

“The brand and model of the tires of my 2016 Jeep Renegade are good year eagle sport. With just 9 months of using the bus, the tires began to dent and present some holes. I contacted the customer service department of the Jeep and good year. The representative of good year told me that I could not honor the defect of the tires because those tires were not made for the climate of puerto rico and that this an aesthetic defect and not insecure. Which I disagree because they can break while the car is moving.”

“Went to mavis tires for a tire rotation 1/28/20 after leaving the chrysler/Jeep dealership for transmission fluid change told 9 speed sealed never needs anything . The guys at mavis said that my lug bolts were swollen and that they could not do the work and that I needed to go to the dealership and have them replaced because only chrysler / Jeep make the part. My Jeep has only 49,800 miles and the mavis guys told me that I needed lug replacements back in november 2019 , I have owned many cars and trucks in the past and never had to replace lugs bolts on a vehicle with such low miles on it . …”
