WHEEL LUGS: STUDS ARE OF DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, THERE HAVE BEEN 6 FAILURES WHERE THE LUGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE LUGS AND NUTS SIEZE AND CANNOT BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITHOUT AN AIR WRENCH. THESE REPLACEMENTS ARE DOCUMENTED. THE "MERCHANTS TIRE" DEALER SAYS IT IS WIDESPREAD AMONG CHRYSLERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT MAKES THE SPARE TIRE USELESS (LUGS CANNOT BE REMOVED WITH MANUAL LUG WRENCH). I USE THE CAR TO GET TO REMOTE AREAS AND BEING STRANDED BY A FLAT TIRE IS DANGEROUS. I HOPE THAT A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT. PLEASE ADVISE.*AK

CHECKED FOR RECALL, GIVEN OK. AT 55 MPH WITHOUT WARNING BOLT "BROKE OR FELL OUT" CAUSING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM CAR, ARM DROPPED, RESULTING IN SEVERE BODY AND MECHANICAL DAMAGE. *AK
