1999 9-5 wheels rust in winter weather causing lug nuts to break. The lug nut was broken and the hub spindle was corroded. This caused the wheel lug nuts to loosen while driving and one of the lugs nuts even snapped off. The outer cv joint seized in the spindle/hub, necessitating the replacement of the cv shaft as well as the hub. A recall was issued for this problem (03V006000 ) and the consumer's vehicle was serviced for this problem in 2003.

: the contact stated the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop to have the snow tires changed. All of the lug nuts on the front and rear passenger side could not be removed due to corrosion. Additionally, the four tires could not be removed due to corrosion and rust. Two weeks ago, the vehicle had been moved from a salt belt state. Prior to purchase, there was a recall, #03V006000 regarding the wheel, caps, hub and cover, performed on the vehicle.
