2003 Dodge Durango has a problem with the lug nuts stamped stainless cover. The consumer stated while driving, the right front tire shredded. All of the lug nuts came off, except one. When the consumer applied additional pressure on the lug wrench, to break it loose, the stamped stainless decorative cap twisted off. He was unable to get it back into place, so that the 19mm lug wrench would work. The consumer replaced all of the lug nuts.

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.

While making a left hand turn heard a popping sound and vehicle tilted to the side. Consumer got out, and the wheel at the front passenger's side was tilting inward, all lugs: studs were gone. Dealer is waiting for a representative to see why lugs: studs broke.

Have had multiple incidents of wheel stud/bolt breakage. Has occurred both during highway operation and during tire removal. Have had to replace approximately 6 studs on various wheels. In each case, lugs were installed at proper torque and were removed either by hand or by air-powered tool. Concerned that the studs on this vehicle are of poor quality or the materials used in the studs and lugs are not compatible and therefore seizing is occurring. I have not had this problem with any other vehicles I've owned and have had to replace too many wheel studs! 4/10/01 - wheel lug could not be re-installed after removal for tire rotation, could not hand-start; concerned about problem with stud and potential breakage. Tire dealer indicated that they have had a lot of trouble with Durango studs breaking off.

Lug nuts and studs tore off causing tire to fall off and loss of control.
