Wheel Bolts problem #1

The clutch cannot be used properly due to design of floor mats. Makes the gears tight. Also, cover to fuel tank broke off when opened. The 1997 michelin x tires on front of vehicle broke off due to all lugs: nuts shearing off twice. Taking vehicle back to dealer.

Wheel problem #2

The first problem happened the first week after I bought the car. The seal broke on the tire they said and the tire went flat without my ackowledgement and I had to buy a new tire because the inside tube was ruined. Since then I have had to get different tires resealed because the seal breaks. I was told that they feel its a problem with the rim. On 12/31/98 I had to get one resealed again and since then the tire still looks low and I have to put air in it once a week. ( dot number: ).
