| After purchasing one lug nut and bolt to be replaced by tire kingdom, 15 other lug nuts and bolts broke off. i had to purchase additional lug nuts and bolts to be replaced. when i contacted dealer, (midway isuzu in miami) they informed me that this is a known defect of this vehicle but my basic warranty (3 years) is over and it is no longer covered. i purchased this vehicle used, with almost two years of use. i never received notification from isuzu that this is a common and well known defect of this model. i'm concerned that my safety may have been compromised and other owners of this model are also at risk. dt | |||
