On my 2015 ford escape i could not get the lug nuts off to change the tire on 8/9/2019. Had to take to mechanic to have lug nuts removed. It appears the lug nut swelled up and the lug wrench that ford supplied with the vehicle did not fit

In late march 2019, i hit a large pot hole and had an instant flat tire. I pulled over to an area where i would not impede on traffic flow. My husband tried to remove the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench that i was provided when i bought the car. This was the first time that i used the wrench. It would not work. After several good samaritans stopped to help us, they were able to remove the lug nuts with their tools.…

Factory lug nuts on car could not be removed for routine maintenance/ vehicle servicing. Broken lug was drilled out and all lugs replaced at the ford dealership. Dealer recommended an aftermarket lug nut kit to avoid repeat of the issue. These parts need to be recalled before serious safety issues are realized. I have the bad parts and receipt of my service visit for my records. I will be contacting ford requesting…

I have a flat tire. When going to change it, i found that the lug wrench would not fit the lug nuts on the wheels. I was told at the ford dealer that the lug nuts swelled so the lug wtench would no longer fit the lugs preventing the tire from being removed. I feel this is a safety hazard since you can't change the tire. I was stuck on the side of a major highway for over 3 hours waiting for assistance and had to…

Got a nail in one tire. Took it to discount tire for repair. They couldn't get the lug nuts off and told me about the problem people were having with the 2 piece lug nuts. Got another flat a few months later and was again not able to use the spare tire because we couldn't get the lug nuts off. Ford dealer told me to get aftermarket one piece lug nuts and change them all out. I'm an older female and no longer feel…

At the same time that the tires were put on an alignment was done on my car. Since then they are rotated and balanced on a regular basis. On 5/24/2018 i began hearing a loud noise and shaking in the steering wheel and believed it to be a wheel bearing. We stopped…

We had a flat tire and attempted to change it to the spare but the lug wrench that came with the vehicle would not fit. So we called aaa. When they arrived they could not find a tool to take off the nuts so we could not put on the spare. He was going to send for a tow truck to get it to a shop to cut them off. I did not have the time to wait so i came back later and was able to pound on a 3/4 socket and get the nuts…

Swollen and cracked lug nuts. I have had to spend $176.00 replacing lug nuts for this vehicle. This has happened twice in less than three years. I bought this vehicle new and have had to replace 19 of the 24 lug bolts on the vehicle due to swelling/cracking. I discussed this with the local ford dealership on october 11, 2017 during my scheduled maintenance. They stated this is a common occurrence and did not seem to…

I had a wdm police officer review the large hole and identified it as needing repair. A few holes later the dot was out to the area…

We had michelin tires on our vehicle when we bought the vehicle brand new. The tires were never right. We kept asking them at the ford dealer to check them but they said they were fine. At 32,000 miles, they said we needed tires. I was under the understanding that 70,000 miles were on these tires. We just got new tires from walmart and they were same size but we put continental and it rides so much better. Wondering…
