Some time ago- about five years, I purchased a 2006 Chrysler 300 touring from franklin automall- mall in franklin township -what I have been experiencing endless times and concern that the lug nuts that hold the wheels on are (defective) I have purchase a set of new lug nuts in the past last set was 2013. What is happening is that I went for my brakes to be looked at a pepboys on 3016-2015in pomton plains NJ, the problem was there lug nuts could not be removed. These type lug nuts- the outer casing separates from the lug nut itself, and spins around and around, difficulty to remove lug nut(s). Any kind of brake repair or removing of a wheel.in event of a flat (I would certainly be stuck.) and again pay for new studs to be put in.Chrysler has not changed these lug nuts that I am aware of- to better and more efficient ones, that has no outer casting that spins -preventing lug nuts to be removed. Replacement sets-- were another set of lug nuts from the Chrysler dealer from franklin sussex county auto mall, I was told at that time there are no replacements !!!!!!!...on Thursday 3-25-2015 my car is going to another pepboys for brakes to be looked at in verona NJ. Im sure I will be the one getting stuck with the bill.for new studs.in closing the pep boys in pompton plains had a hard tome to get them off and the two were mangled I managed to get one off with not great ease at all.two in total-there needs to be a recall correct this constant problem with these brand of lug nuts, the outer castings don't hold up in any kind of weather and smooth out constantly.creating this over and over problem.
