2023 CX50 Turbo PP
Alright, so around 200 miles on my new CX9 Signature and I ran over a box cutter blade that somehow found it's way into our neighborhood streets. Luckily I was less than 1/4 mile from home and was able to turn around and get it home before the air leaked out.
Upon getting home I was going to put the spare on but I realized that the lug nuts are far too stubby to tighten the spare tire onto the car!
I didn't take a photo but there had to be a good 3/8 of an inch or more left of the lug bolt/stud to go before the stock lug nut bottomed out. Has anyone else come across this? I called my salesman and he told me he had never heard of this issue. Which tells me either he's lying or that no one has brought this to his attention after purchasing a car from him. He's been in Mazda sales for 12 years he says. Anyway, he told me to bring the car in and show me what the issue is and he'll fix me up but all that is running through my mind is what if I had taken this thing on a long road trip and found myself on a busy interstate or something after hours with my wife and 5 year old only to find this out at that point?
I'll consider myself lucky it happened at home and for now take his word that he will find me a solution when I head up there in a day or two.
