| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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.*ak |
