Consumer Description

CONSUMER OWNED A 1998 WINDSTAR THAT LOST LUGS IN THREE INSTANCES SINCE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. CONSUMER MAINTAINED THAT REPLACING THE LUGS WAS NOT A SOLUTION SINCE THE LUGS ON THAT TIRE WERE REPLACED TWICE. THE LUGS WON'T REMAIN TIGHT. OVER TIGHTEN THEM AND THEY WOULD BREAK. UNDER TIGHTEN THEM ,AND THE LUGS NUTS WOULD LOOSEN, AND THEN LUGS WOULD BREAK. THERE WAS NO MIDDLE GROUND EXCEPT TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THEM FOR TIGHTNESS. *AK
