Jalopnik -In what will surely go down in history as
one of the most Galaxy Brain court rulings of all time, a Michigan
appeals court determined that a tire rotation does not, in fact, include
tightening the lug nuts.
It is a
ruling that not only defies common sense but has potentially broad
ramifications for Michigan car owners who may find it much harder to sue
mechanics for doing unspeakably dumb things, such as not making sure
the damn tires stay on the car.
In October 2013, Samuel Anaya and Doris Myricks took their car home from a dealership in Grand Rapids, Michigan after having some basic repairs and maintenance conducted, including a tire rotation. About two blocks from the dealership, the left front wheel came off, causing the car to skid into a curb. Turns out, the mechanic did not tighten the lug nuts.
