Wheel studs?

Went to rotate my tires last night and two lugs missing on Drivers side front. last time i broke one on Pass side front and then broke another one last night on the Pass front. I have NEVER broken a stud on anything in my life!! What is up here?? They don't even snap when they break it just falls off in the socket. The two that fell off without me even knowing is vere odd.

Post pictures if you can. Most likely under-torqued, possibly over-torqued.

Did the tire shop install them with an air impact? Most guys have no idea how to control the torque. If they didn't use a torque wrench to finish tightening and final torque them chances are they're way over tight

Had two break on me in the last year too, 2 different trucks. Same thing, didnt snap, just felt like thet were loose then came off in the socket. Always torque them and have also had studs on one wheel come loose and snap off 4 studs. Check them regularly now. Never had this happen on any other vehicle neither
