1 Wheel Bolts problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2001

I would like to make you aware of a problem I recently have had with a 2000 Toyota Tacoma pick-up. I have 15000 miles on the truck and recently on a long road trip I received a flat due to a nail on the highway. In changing the tire I snapped 2 lug studs. Now I have owned truck for 20 plus years and have never snapped a lug off a wheel. I had it serviced and was told it was due to too much torque and still find this hard to believe. I cant imagine that I could give this that much torque with a tire iron to snap off the studs. I feel it is poor quality steel or a failure in the steel design itself. I am very concern for future lugs breaking when traveling and fear a major safety hazard. Please look into this matter and advise me if you have received similar complaints and what can I do to protect my family and me. Thank you.
