The sudden loss of air resulted in three of the tires blowing out over the last ten days. The tire dealership determined all four wheels were affected and needed to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10147733, filed 2006-01, 59,000 miles“Wheel lugs: studs broke off at the hub, vehicle was been driven on a extended charter as this vehicle is a limousine. The vehicle had been driven over the weekend on numerous trips as the client had the vehicle on charter for 2 days. The driver notice that the steering wheel started to shimmy even at low speeds. We have had the same scenario happen on another vehicle before. The nuts on the studs are treaded as though the wheel would still be tight on the hub. No sign of the vehicle being tampered with.”
