Consumer Description

APPARENTLY THE LUGS NUTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID CORRODE AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE A TIRE (OR ROTATE THEM DURING AN INSPECTION). I WAS TOLD THAT THE CORROSION OCCURS IN A COUPLE OF HAPPEN YEARS AND THEREFORE, I MUST BUY NEW LUG NUTS AT $200 PLUS AND DRIVE WITH A FLAT TIRE. SO I BUY A NEW CAR AND OR SPEND $200 DOLLAR EVERY A COUPLE OF YEARS. I WAS TOLD A LOT OF CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED.
