1994 ISUZU RODEO Wheels Problems

ANY TIME I HAVE TIRES TAKEN OFF CAR , THE LUGS: NUTS: STUDS BREAK OFF. I HAVE HAD EVERY SERVICE PLACE TO TELL ME THEY DON'T LIKE WORKING ON ANY ISUZU BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE SPENT $500.00 REPLACING STUDS ON MY CAR. I WANT TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO WONDER HOW SAFE THESE CARS CAN BE. HAVE THERE BEEN REPPORT. *AK

THE MANUFACTURER SUPPLIED "STUDS" ARE MADE FROM AN INFERIOR METAL WHICH, OVER TIME WILL "SNAP OFF" WHILE DRIVING AND/OR SERVICING THE VEHICLE. MOREOVER, WHEN I REPLACED THE STUDS, I COULD ONLY USE THE SAME INFERIOR ISUZU STUDS TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES, BECAUSE I AM RESTRICTED TO ONLY USE THE ISUZU PARTS (NO OTHER PARTS WILL WORK DUE TO AN INHERANT DESIGN). I HAD TWO STUDS SNAP OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE CAR CAUSING ME TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

LUG NUTS AND BOLTS ARE BRITTLE AND THREADS ARE BROKEN. BOLTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH DRIVER'S REAR WHEEL FELL OFF WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. *AK ALL OF THE LIGNUTS AND ONE BOLT WERE MISSING ON LEFT REAR WHEEL WHEN THE DRIVER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE RIGHT AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WAS ALSO MISSING A LUG NUT. *YH

TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, AND WAS TOLD THAT LUGS: NUTS SNAPPED OFF. IF CONSUMER HAD TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF. *AK *ML

ORIGINAL LUG NUTS ON THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ARE HARD TO GET OFF THE VEHICLE. LUG BOLT THREADS ARE TOO SOFT AND MAKES CHANGING A TIRE IMPOSSIBLE. OWNER BELIEVES THE LUG NUTS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *AK *ML

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE LUG NUT STUDS THEY BREAK.

WHEEL LUGS/BOLTS BROKE OFF. (QCAW)
