We had it in for an oil change on Tuesday, but that is all they do unless we ask for more. I rotate the tires every other oil change. I was going to rotate them last weekend but ran out of time. What gets me is that it all happend within a 1/2 mile. We drive it every day and today she had been driving 10 miles since she left home. We have had problems with the lug nuts on both Jeeps during the last couple of years. The nuts seem to self tighten during the 6000 miles between tire rotation. I usually ruin one or two each time I try to remove them and have broken heavy duty lug wrenches and sockets on them. At first, it appeard that the studs had sheared off, but that was only because the rotor was about to come off too and the studs were all messed up from riding on the wheel.
She was going 65 mph when the whole thing started.
