In for a normal oil change and tire rotation. The lug nuts were swollen and had to be broke off and replaced. with the same one that were on my car. I did not no Ford had a lug nut problem until then. To find out that some people had to have cars towed because of the tire not being able to come off. It is a saftey hazard. Ford know this and keeps making these lug nuts. Saying to replace every 50,000 miles at 160 dollars. this is crazy. I am sure there are many people who do not even know till it is too late. They should come up with a different design and replace them all. I travel 80 miles a day, and i rotate every 5,000 miles. i will be replacing them way too may times at this rate. this is unecessary.

I recently had to replace all of the lug nuts on this car due to swelling. Ford said they were all faulty. There were no warnings about the problem. It was noticed in a routine service appointment. I was informed the risk could be that I would not be able to remove them if I experienced a flat tire, and therefore be left stranded.

MY vehicle gets the tires rotated every 5,000 miles it has 55,000 miles in it the last time they rotated my tires they said the all 2 piece lug nuts will have to be replaced , I'm 75 years old and have worked on all my vehicles and never have I replaced all the lug nuts, I understand this has been happening to many ford products , I hope there is going to be a recall this becomes very expensive if they cannot remove the lug nuts with the impact tool .

THE RIMS AND MICHELIN ENERGY SAVERS TIRES ARE UNSAFE; TWICE I HAVE TO REPLACE DUE TO SIMPLE ISSUES SUCH AS BUMPING SLIDING OVER THE MEDIAN AT SLOW SPEED AND BACKING UP, TO GET OFF FROM IT. THE LOW PROFILE AND SKINNY WALLS, NO SPARE FOR HYBRID, ARE UNSAFE!
