My vehicle has decided to start bogging around 35mph. It has continually done this for a week and has decided to start driving horrible. It does not drive like it has been. We are going to check what the problem might be Sunday (7/7/2019) and attempt to fix. My Jeep is no longer covered under warranty.
Since purchasing my 2012 Jeep gc, lugnuts have become loose and at times fall off the stud while driving. Regardless of how well, or how many times the lug nuts are torched down, they become loose and fall off. I have replaced over 5 wheel studs because they break off under pressure and twice as many lug nuts at $12 a piece. Each repair has cost me over $150 a visit for stud repair. While moving from minnesota to California, my lug nuts became so loose on my wheel the wheel almost fell off going 80 mph. This is a serious and dangerous problem. My vehicle has less than 85,000 miles on it.

Over the last year, there has been several incidents with lug nuts coming loose while driving and causing loss if the lug nut and tire wobbling (noise). On 11/09/14, I was parking my vehicle driving under 5 mph and heard a loud pop. Once the vehicle was parked, I got out and looked by my driver side rear tire and see that lug nut and wheel stud broke off. I am scheduled to see the dealer tomorrow for a review of the issue and look for other damage. The ongoing issue of loose lug nuts is a great concern and makes me wonder if there is a bigger issue with faulty studs or wheel bearings.
Corrosion on the hubs of all the wheels has been an issue with my car just about 1 year after purchasing it brand new. This is not just a problem with my Jeep. I have noticed on many Jeeps in my area. It is not an issue that the warranty covers despite being a new car. This seems like a manufacture issue.
