Consumer Description

I RECENTLY HAD A FLAT TIRE AFTER HITTING SOMETHING LAYING ON A BRIDGE AND WENT TO PLACE MY SPARE TIRE ON MY VEHICLE, AND COULD NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND THEY COULD ALSO NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS AND SAID THEY WERE SWOLLEN VERY BAD AND NONE OF THEIR TOOLS FIT. OVERALL THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE SWOLLEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER SAFETY CAUSING DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON FLAT TIRES UNTIL REACHING A PLACE THEY CAN PUT AIR INTO THEIR TIRES. ALSO, THE FACT THAT AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS CAN NOT TAKE OFF THE LUG NUTS EITHER MEANS COSTLY REPAIRS FOR THE DRIVER.
