    Lugnuts on wheels are rounded and swelling making it impossible for the tool to fit over them to remove. This is a safety hazard because this will prolong the time a person is on the side of the road increasing the chance of harm.

    My car began making really loud humming that got louder as i drove faster. On occasion i would feel it 'slip' at high speeds but i knew it wasn't the transmission. It turned out that all 4 sets of the wheel bearings were locking up . Because the bearings are supposed to be in a sealed environment they shouldn't have been exposed to the elements for one, and i had to replace the entire wheel hub for all 4 since the…

    Tires are wearing out on the inside a lot faster. Am on 3rd set the first two sets did this and the dealer said the alignment was fine. I.feel this is a safety hazard as a cursory inspection of the tires looks ok but if you get on the ground to check the inside part the wear will be alarming. I went online to check message boards for this model and numerous other people had the same issue.
