FOR THE 2ND TIME THE LUGS & STUDS ON THE ISUZU RODEO HAVE EITHER BROKEN/CRACKED OR STRIPPED WHEN A TIRE ROATION IS BEING PREFORMED. BOTH TIMES SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE MANUELLY TRIED TO REMOVE THE LUGS . AND AFTERWARDS TRIED TO TIGHTEN THE LUGS. AS A RESULT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE - SINCE THE STUDS ARE BUILT FROM THE INNER SIDE OUTWARD. NOW WITH SEVERAL LUGS STRIPPED AGAIN, I FEAR I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE AXLE AGAIN. *AK

LUG NUTS SNAP OFF EVERYTIME TIRES ARE REMOVED FOR ROTATION. THIS IS NOT THE MECHANICS FAULT. IT IS A DEFECT AND ISUZU SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENTS. I'M GETTING SOAKED EVERYTIME I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR ROTATION OF MY TIRES, WHICH SHOULD BE FREE BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE TIRES AT THE ESTABLISHMENT. INSTEAD, I AM GETTING CHARGED $80-$100 EVERYTIME BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS BREAK OFF AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED! BASED ON WHAT I SEE ON THIS WEBSITE, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND ISUZU SHOULD BE FOOTING THE BILL FOR THIS. DT

STUD AND LUGS ARE MADE OF SOFT METAL, THAT WEARS AND SIEZE UP WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THEM. REPLACEMENT ARE MADE WITH THE SAME METAL AT A COST OF 8 PER LUG AND LOBOR. HEAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH FRICTION.

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE CHECK, AND MECHANIC NOTICED TWO FRONT WHEEL LUGS: NUTS WERE STRIPPED, MECHANIC HAD TO BREAK THE NUTS TO GET THEM OFF. CONSUMER FELT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE 3 OUT OF 5 OF LUG: NUTS WERE STRIPPED, COULD JUST SPEND NUTS AROUND, AND WHEEL WAS NOT SECURE.*AK
