Well, I was waxing the Jeep this morning, getting it all shiny, when I started to work on the wheels. To my surprise, there's two lug nuts missing and one loose on the front right wheel. So, I have to take the lugs off the spare, use those, and head to the dealer again (I didnt want to be doing 75 on three lugs). I was surprised I mentioned I had the recall done Monday, and it was after that they went missing. I was very polite and respectful. The guy didnt argue or anything (heck he didnt even check to make sure they had perfomed a recall on it). They just went and gave me two lugs free of charge. However, thinking about it, I think it's possible the dealer didnt lose it and somebody was trying to steal my tire at the HS football game last night! :evil:

Very possible.. Go check where you parked and see if there are any lugs laying around? Maybe they just needed some extra lugs or something? :lol:

Good thing you noticed it! Did you check all the others?

Yep. Checked all the others. I'm grateful nothing happened. I'll have to check the parking lot monday as it's locked on the weekends usually. I couldnt believe that though. Especially considering there was a BMW M3 and a Yukon next to me, I would've thought they would have messed with those, unless its someone from school who has an issue with me. I was also surpised my alarm didnt go off, as it usually goes off at the slightest touch (for example putting my windshield wiper down).

Why does it do that? Do you have the aftermarket mopar sensor or something?

Were you taking a HIGH SCHOOL GIRL to the game and pis sed off her boyfriend? :twisted:

Really it sounds like a dealer/service issue...

No such luck. Lol. But I thought I checked all the wheels after I picked it up, dont quite remember though. As far as the sensor goes, Lojack got put in it, which comes with its own alarm, which is uber-sensitive. If I'm in it and it arms, closing the center console will trigger it.

*Edit: My dad thinks somebody at school may be screwing with my Jeep! He thinks two flats in one month and now the missing lugs are more than a coincidence. So'm gonna have to keep an eye on that. If I find out who it is, either they're getting four flats or the brush guard may be getting tested on the way out! :twisted:

Do you go to Millennium? Who's the SRO out there now. If you see them on Monday let them know what's going on. Do you have any ideas who it could be?
