    your excuse it to go to a local part store and buy a bolt for your mistake, the dealer shouldnt have to pay or fix your problem

    Yeah, get a bolt extractor and take it out. Besides, you can attempt to take it to the dealership but they won't replace it.

    You can take the bolt up there and if they can detect a "flaw" like a pin hole in the bolt, they will replace it. I snapped 4 lug nuts and got them replaced due to this reason. But most dealership service shops won't even take the time.

    That means your car is subject to weak bolts all the way around, like me. Watch your lugs as well. They seem real weak. Watch how tight you tighten them down.
