    I need help. . and fast!

    Okay, I'm due to leave for Las Vegas in about 9 hours. I got home at around 11:00pm and did a quick check of my tires and fluids. I notice the tread on the front tires were a bit worn and decided to go ahead and rotate the tires just temporarily till i got back to have all 4 changed and balanced. So I loosened the lugs off of the tire and notice one nut in particular was VERY hard to loosen. In my stupid frustration I pushed down on the tire iron so hard that it tore the freakin bolt off of the hub! :shock: :shock: :? :? :( :( soooooooo. . .correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it to be a tad bit dangerous to be driving with only 4 lugs instead of 5. I have my warranty. Should it be covered? How long would fixing this take? I'm really at a loss here and I should be getting ready to party and not worry abou this crap right now.

    yeah, that sounds like it would definately be covered in your warranty. no lug should EVER come off of the hub :shock:

    Hmmm... I had that very same problem early on. I just took it to the dealer and explained the problem. They repaired the wheel stud on the spot (about 45 minutes). If you know your dealer won't warranty the work based on your honest explanation, you could always play dumb and ask (pointing to the wheel) "Is the wheel supposed to be missing a nut?"
