Owner Complaints (8)
Cannot change my tires due to swollen lug nuts. Because of this my tires have not been able to be rotated and will need to be replaced because of too much wear. Several mechanics have had difficulty getting them off and on and have said that I need to purchase replacements because Ford lug nuts are notoriously bad.

When a transmission recall was corrected I was advised that the lug nuts were warping and needed to be replaced. Substandard lug nuts should be covered by the manufacturer

Two part lug nuts experience swelling over time and make removal of the lugs very difficult and may result in the lugs not being adequately tight when the wheel is put back on. The dealer confirmed that this is a known problem and when they repair this issue, they use an after market lug that is not a two part lug, and therefore doesn't have the swelling issue.

11/4/15 my wife while driving in her work parking lot at a speed of approximately 10 MPH experienced a tire blowout on the left front tire. The blowout caused a small tear in the tire at the seam where the sidewall joins the tread. We could find no evidence of anything other than a defect in the tire which could have attributed to the blowout.
