Consumer Description
METAL FATIGUE IN LUG NUTS AS MY WIFE AND I WERE GETTING READ TO PULL ON TO THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY (SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH) ON 11/23/16, ANOTHER MOTORIST DESPERATELY FLAGGED US DOWN AND YELLED YOUR TIRE IS FALLING OFF. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED THE FRIDAY BEFORE (11/18/16) AT STANLEY POINT FORD. UPON STOPPING, THREE OF THE FOUR LUG NUTS WERE LOOSE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO STANLEY POINT FORD AND THE SERVICE MANAGER REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THOSE THREE LUG NUTS WERE STRETCHED AND WORN. HE ALSO FOUND TWO OTHERS ON THE CAR IN THE SAME SHAPE. THEY REPLACED ALL 16 LUG NUTS ON THE CAR. (SEE ATTACHED)
