Consumer Description

MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 SEL CAME WITH LUGNUTS THAT HAVE METAL CUPS AND THESE EXPENDED CAUSING ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO TAKE THEM OFF. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIND A SOCKET THAT WOULD FIT THE NOW BIGGER LUGNUTS. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE MECHANICS TO GET ALL THE ORIGINAL BAD LUGNUTS OFF AND REPLACED THEM WITH ALL NEW ONES. THESE TYPE OF LUGNUTS SHOULD BE LABELED AS DEFECTIVE AND BE RECALLED. I HAD TO SPEND ABOUT $300 TO TAKE THEM OFF AND HAVE THEM ALL REPLACED. FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THIS UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. *TR
