Thankfully i was able to get to a safe place, but i am concerned for the welfare…

I went in for a routine tire rotation. The shop was unable to remove my tires, as most of the lug nuts were swollen. Shop told me i would have been unable to remove my tire if stuck on the side of the road. Very dangerous issue, all because ford manufactured the lug nuts with a 'soldered cap" unlike most which are one piece. The soldered cap leaks water inside, which freezes and causes the lug nut to swell, and no…

Aaa operator reported that lug nut was swollen; couldn't remove with standard equipment. Dealer today said all lug nuts needed replacing as they were "swollen" due to corrosion underneath the cap. This is a safety hazard as the supplied tire iron can't remove them. Sometimes they must be sawed off to replace. Apparently, same happened with my 2010 ford fusion. Many similar reports on the internet.
