Brakes need to be replaced at least twice a year.
Tire pressure sensors go off all of the time.
Steering wheel vibrates at high speeds.
Three out of five stems and lug nuts holding the tire on my front driver side broke. Had just had the front brakes replaced two weeks earlier. Had to be towed to the nearest shop.
You said your lugs broke 2 weeks after having a brake job done. If your lugs were not torqued when the mechanic put the wheels back on this will cause the studs to break. If a air gun was used to tighten the lugs, I could almost guarentee the lugs were over tightened. With the lugs over tightened, the studs would be stretched past their maximum strength point. In this weakened state as the stud goes through heat cycles it would expand and contract putting more stress on the studs until they eventually break.
Always have your lugs torqued to avoid such problems.
