    actual specs are either 75lbs or 90....100 won't hurt but 140 is way too much. I'd make them fix it....when they snap a stud trying to loosen them, you won't have trouble getting them to press the new ones in

    I don't know why over-torque'd lugnuts would cause your "Brake" warning light to come on, but who knows. Coincidence? Or, maybe they set your parking brake when doing the work, and now the switch is sticking a little? Maybe try working it a few times then make sure the lever is fully released?

    And yeah...140 ft. lbs....waaaaay too much.
