Yes....yet..another sad story from Acura4Life....
I came out of my office building, ready to go down to my shore house, as I do EVERY weekend, when I found a post-it note on my driver's window. The note said, "Dear owner, your rear right tire is missing 3 lug nuts. I did not know if you knew but it has been like that for 2 - 3 days now."
First of all, WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
It was true.
As enough of you know me, I lost it !!!
I called Montclair Acura and they said bring her in right away. I drove DIRECTLY to the dealer from work.
I arrived at Montclair Acura, where once again I was treated like GOLD. Their service & parts Dept. was closed but yet they went out of their way to help. As soon as they saw my right rear wheel they said, "hands down, someone tried to steal your wheels, NO QUESTION. The only thing that kept them from getting them were the wheel locks."
Well, needless to say, THANK GOD I GOT THE WHEEL LOCKS.
Montclair Acura gave me 3 new lug nuts and tightened and checked all the wheels. I gave the guy a big tip for helping me after service hours.
I feel violated. I don't know where or when someone tried to get my wheels, but the wheel locks STOPPED them.
Montclair Acura said that they probably didn't even notice there were wheel locks on the MDX until they removed 3 of them and THEN realized they were screwed when they hit the wheel lock. It makes sense. The wheel locks really do look like the regular lugs.
Montclair Acura also told me that it has been somewhat of a common occurance, in NJ that people are trying to steal the wheels off of MDX's. They said they had a MDX in the back that they had to fix because someone tried to steal the wheels.
Just wanted to share my terror with you all.
Maybe my story will make some of you think TWICE about getting the wheel locks, if you don't already have them.
Because of my paranoid state, I'm NOW seriously considering LoJack.
Happy MDXing....but beware, especially if you live in the NY / NJ / Conn. area !!!!
