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.

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

WHILE HAVING TIRES ROTATED,THE LUGS: NUTS BROKE. HUBS ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER DENY THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER ISUZU RODEOS, AND SAY THE WARRANTY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THEREFORE THEY'RE TRYING TO SOCK ME WITH THE $650 DOLLAR BILL. AS I CAN TELL BY YOUR REPORTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE, AND THIS SHOULD BE LISTED AS A DEFECT AND THE WARRANTY SHOULD PAY.
