Two problems related to wheel bolts have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The lugs: nuts have become so stuck on the rims during a tire change that the stems broke off. This is the second time this has happened. The first time at texaco lube during a tire rotation; second time at costco, again during a tire rotation. Had to have all stems replaced at dealer and get reimbursed from texaco lube/costco. Dealer said the stems are very brittle and that Dodge knows about this already.
I have had a flat tire on the passenger side rear wheel,when I was changing the tire,I noticed that one of the wheel studs broke off,when I went to my dealer to have it fixed,two more wheel studs broke off when the dealer was fixing it,total wheel studs that broke off the same wheel was 3, my concern is, my truck is only 2 years old and already 3 wheel studs had broken off the same wheel,although the repair was done by my dealer under warranty, I am just worried how many more wheel studs will break and luckily I was not driving at the time the studs broke, but what if I was driving? what then could have happened to me and others? I don't expect you at NHTSA to ask daimler-Chrysler to make a recall just because of my case,but please look into this situation.
