Took my wife's 2010 accent in for a tire repair (plug a nail hole) about a month and a half ago. The hubcap, which is held on by the lugnuts, was put on such that it was covering the air valve. I didn't notice that right away, but once I did, I decided it wouldn't matter for a while, until I had to refill the tire. Yesterday, the tire needed to be refilled, so I took out the torque wrench from the trunk and attempted to loosen the nuts. One of them was on WAY to tight, and when I tried to get it off, the BOLT actually BROKE OFF OF THE WHEEL. Tried to call the service department, but was kept on hold for a long time, and eventually the receptionist picked up again and asked if I would leave a message. Took the car in immediately thereafter. Explained the situation (while no less than three service dep't employees stood by, not helping anyone... why couldn't any of these people have taken my phone call?), but as it was about 6:00 PM, no service advisor was available to speak with me (which is suspicious because this was a Wednesday, and according to their website, the service department is open until 7:00 PM on Wednesdays). Spoke with a service advisor named Mark today, who claims that they have no record of ever touching this particular tire. This cannot be true, as I do not have the physical strength to have tightened the bolt this much with just a torque wrench, and the car has never been serviced anywhere else. Also claims that, since they don't know how it happened, this does not fall under the bumper-to-bumper warranty (car is only ~15,000 miles old). I took the car to the dealership for a tire repair (which can be done anywhere) because I didn't want to be swindled by a shady repair shop... HUUUUUGE-ah mistake. \r
