Owner Complaints (6)
Your car's factory wheel nuts are collapsing and becoming smaller in diameter when impact wrenches are used on them, making them difficult or impossible to remove. If you get a flat tire on the highway, you may not be able to remove the wheel and install your spare tire, which could leave you stranded in a dangerous situation. The solution involves replacing the factory wheel nuts with new ones that can withstand impact wrench pressure.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS SOME PROBLEM TOO.
MASTERCRAFT GLACIER GRIP II TIRES 4 225 65 R16 INSTALLED 10/27/2016. LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON TIRES AND 2 TIRES ON HAD TREAD SEPARATION. MINOR CRACK FRACTURES THAT LEAKED AIR OUT. I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING AIR IN TIRE. ONCE PUMPED UP TO TIRE SPECS HOLD AIR. SO DEALER DIDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG TILL IT KEPT HAPPENING AND I MADE THEN DISMOUNT AND CHECK INSIDE AND OUT AND ALL AROUND. FOUND FROM INSIDE MICRO CRACKS IN TIRE TREAD. PER DEALER MANUFACTURE DEFECT.
AFTER 60MPH HAVE VIBRATION WEN TOUCH THA BRAKE PEDAL
THE FIRST TIME I TOOK FOR INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEY SAID CODE WAS 6TH CYLINDER AND RESET, AND HAD TO COME BACK NEXT DAY. IT RECENTLY CAME ON AGAIN AND NOW HAVE TO TAKE BACK TO SHOP, BECAUSE THE POWER AND ENGINE HESITATES, HAS ISSUES GOING UP HILLS, AND SCARES ME ON LONG RIDES. IT IS NOW PAST THE 35,000 MILE AND INTO MY EXTRA WARRANTY I PAID FOR. TIRES ALL WEAR BADLY TOO, CAR NEEDS FULL ALIGNMENT. HOPING THEY WILL NOT JUST RESET AND ACTUAL FIX THE 6TH CYLINDER, UNFORTUNATELY THE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. ITS NOT THE TIRES THAT ARE A PROBLEM, IT IS THE BAD ALIGNMENT CAUSING IT TO WEAR WRONG. TIRES AREN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO LEAVE THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT UNFIXED SO EVERY NEW TIRE YOU PUT ON GETS RUINED. IF THEY FIX 6TH CYLINDER WILL LET YOU KNOW, BUT BE CAREFUL, LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THE HESITATION IS TERRIFYING WITH KIDS IN CAR. *TR
