| Description of the problem | Luckily i was not stranded on the side of the road but having worked for ford this is a known issue and has now happened to both of my ford trucks. Ford makes lug nuts with aluminum casings that after 1-5 uses become swollen and making it impossible to remove lug nuts from vehicle especially in an emergency situation which could result in someone taking more time than needed on the side of the road struggling to break said lug nuts loose and will result in someone being struck by another vehicle.. This has been an ongoing issue for 10 + years. I have spent hundreds of dollars replacing these lug nuts. Multiple of which had to be cut off by mechanics. Please do something!! |
