While driving right rear wheel came off due to four studs breaking completely off.
While driving the front left tire came off, as a result the vehicles sustained damage to the left front tire and rim, front disc, wheel studs and the radiator began leaking fluid, possible lug, nut or bolt failure (ohio traffic crash report). Nlm.
Studs keep breaking on the front wheels. In November 2002 right front studs "fell off" as a mechanic was taking the tires off as part a maintenance inspection. Items replaced. In March 2002, I was replacing the calipers and as I placed the lug wrench "manual type" on the lug nuts two fell off from the front right and one from the front left. I am not sure if the two front right were the same ones that were replaced in Nov 2002. I am currently working with a dealership to have the broken studs replaced. Would like further information if available as it concerns me that they may pop while driving and I may loose a tire. Thank you for your time.
