After changing the tire and then replacing the spare for the fixed tire, the wheel lug nut on the front passenger side of the vehicle broke off. This is the second time this has occurred. The wheel screws are also all rusted and the lug nuts have a tendency to get bent when trying to remove them. The last time I had to pay for the screw replacement. I will go to the dealer tomorrow to discuss the second incident. The lug nuts appear to be made of aluminum or other soft metal and easily bend. All the wheel screws have rusted.
The driverside wheel is popping, dealer found no problems. (attorney for client).
