KEY FITS INTO RECESSED LUGNUT IN A PATTERN SPECIFIC FASHION. KEY PULLS OUT OF LUG NUT INSTEAD OF LOOSENING IT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE AND LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ABLE TO LOOSEN THE STANDARD LUG NUTS PROVING PROBLEM IS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE KEY NOT THE LUG NUTS. CHRYSLER CORP CONTACTED TWICE AND REFUSING REPLACEMENT OR INVESTIGATION INTO DESIGN FLAW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR LUG NUTS.
