Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED AND IT REQUIRED ALL NEW LUG NUTS GO GET THE TIRES OFF TO CHECK THE BRAKES. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF LUG NUTS RUSTING AND HAVING TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT SEVERAL FORDS HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I HAD A FLAT TIRE LAST FALL. WHEN AAA CAME, THEY COULD NOT GET THE LUG NUTS OFF THE WHEEL. THEY HAD TO POUND IT OFF SO I COULD GET A TIRE ON IT. THIS DOES NOT SOUND FAIR TO HAVE TO PAY $133.00 FOR 20 NEW LUG NUTS - IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT.
