WHEN CHANGING THE TIRES OR ROTATING LUGS CONTINUE TO STRIP. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE'S HAD SEVERAL RODEOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING TO BE A REAL SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *LA

WHEEL BOLTS/NUTS STRIP EVERY TIME I HAD TIRE WORK. RECENTLY BEING REFUSED TO CHANGE TIRES BY A SHOP, CLAIMING THAT RODEO'S WHEEL STUDS TOO SOFT TO GET THE JOB DONE WITHOUT DAMAGE

REPLACED SEVEN WHEEL LUGS NUTS AND BOLTS TO HIS VEHICLE. CONSUMER NAVIGATE ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND MANY CONSUMER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

CONSUMER STATED WHILE HAVING NEW TIRES PUT ON THE VEHICLE, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE LUG NUTS AND THAT THAT THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE REMOVED AND PUT BACK ON BY HAND, WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON THE VEHICLE, THREE OF THE LUG NUTS SNAPPED OFF DUE TO THE REPEATED DRILLING OF THE LUGS OVER THE YEARS, ALL OF THE LUGS AND STUDS WERE REPLACED AND DUE TO THE DAMAGE THE FRONT INNER SEAL AND FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE LUG NUTS.*JB

LUGS STRIP AND/OR BREAK EVERY TIME A TIRE HAS TO COME OVER FOR WHATEVER REASON. LABOR IS VERY EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY IF IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN YOU SERVICE YOUR RODEO. *AK

LUGS: NUTS RIP TIRES WHENEVER TIRES ARE CHANGED OR ROTATED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

EVERY WHEELS HAVE TWO BROKEN STUDS: BOLTS. BELIEVED CAUSE WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE METAL. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND UNWILLING TO ASSIST BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ITS WARRANTY. PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHEEL STUBS WERE DEFECTIVE FROM DEALERSHIP. CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO CHANGE WHEELS FOR ROTATION OF TIRES, AND WHEELS WOULDN'T COME OFF. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE WHEEL STUD BOLTS BREAK WHENEVER TIRES ARE ROTATED AND MOUNTED BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE. YH

THE PROBLEM WITH THE STUDS IS CONTINUOUS, ANY TIME I HAVE TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED OR BALANCED, OR FRONT END ALIGNED THE SERVICE PERSON ALWAYS INFORMS ME THAT THE LUGS HAVE BROKEN OFF WITH THE STUD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY AND AN INCONVIENCE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE HORN IS WHENEVER THE CAR IS WASHED OR IT RAINS THE HORN START SOUNDING AND I HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO STOP IT . THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY FRONT END DAMAGE TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY AND ANOTHER MOTORIST INFORMED ME THAT MY HORN WAS SOUNDING. *AK

ALL 12 WHEEL LUGS/NUTS ON FRONT WHEELS FAILED ACCORDING TO DEALER. INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM TIRE SHOPS INDICATES THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH ISUZU VEHICLES. ISUZU REFUSES TO HONOR WARRANTY STATING WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CAUSE IS "USE OF AIR WRENCHES TO TIGHTEN LUGS". THE LUG NUTS/BOLTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN, MANURE, OR ASSEMBLY SINCE OTHER CARS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM

WHEEL STUDS AND NUTS CAN BE STRIPPED DURING NORMAL WHEEL INSPECTION AND TIRE REPLACEMENT.

LUGS:REPLACED EIGHT LUGS:NUT SAND STUDS.

RELATED TO STOCK STEEL WHEELS, ORIGINAL STUDS AND LUIG NUTS. THESE STUDS/LUG NUTS SEIZE REGULARLY REQUIRING THEM TO BE BROKEN TO REMOVE WHEELS. IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE, THE WHEEL CAN NO BE REMOVE MANUALLY. THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM VERIFIED BY 4 DIFFERENT TIRE STORES. ISUZU'S STANCE IS THAT THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEM.
