Wheel Bolts problem #1

Rear passenger side wheel - lugs: nuts: bolts sheared off.

Wheel Bolts problem #2

We were traveling on i10 west bound on fairly good pavement at 70mph and the rear drivers side wheel broke off, resulting in a crash. We had no work done to the wheels since the car was delivered from the dealer. We had no indiction that a problem existed until the failure. Two lug bolts broke and the remaining four were striped and bent. I am trying to find if the lug bolts on the other wheels can be tested for fractures and determine a cause of the accident.
