Consumer Description

TOYOTA WHEEL STUDS STRETCHING AND BREAKING OFF WHILE DRIVING.I WORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY TIMES WHERE TOYOTA WHEEL STUDS WILL NOT TORQUE PROPERLY. WHEN USING A TORQUE WRENCH TO TIGHTEN THE NUTS SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT CLICK. IF YOU CONTINUE THE STUD SNAPS IN HALF AND THE LUG NUT SPINS RIGHT OUT. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE METAL THE STUD IS MADE OF IS INFERIOR. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN USE MONTHS AFTER SERVICE AND RESULTING IN A WHEEL OFF SITUATION. TOYOTA DEALER DENIES THERE IS ANY PROBLEM BUT IF HAVE SEEN THIS AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES. I HAVE ASKED OTHER SHOPS IF THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD YES. I HAVE HAD TOYOTAS IN VARIOUS MODELS FROM MODEL YEAR 2000 TO PRESENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS AND TRAGEDIES HAPPEN FROM THIS. WHEEL STUDS SHOULD NOT SNAP OFF SO EASILY AND THIS WILL END UP KILLING PEOPLE(IT PROBABLY HAS). THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE THE RIGHT THING IS DONE.WHICH WOULD BE RECALLING THE VEHICLES AND HAVING THE STUDS REPLACED WITH QUALITY PARTS. *TR
