Consumer Description

ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN FROM AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE TECHNICIAN FROM GOODYEAR AUTO SERVICE, MY LUNG NUTS NEED REPLACED. REPORTEDLY, THE LUG NUTS HAVE A METAL COVERING CAUSING THEM TO SWELL. THE TIRE IRON DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO REMOVE OR TIGHTEN THE NUTS. UNLESS THE NUTS ARE REPLACED, IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE OR SAFELY SECURE A TIRE IN AN EMERGENCY. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, SINCE I AM OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF SOMEONE HAS A FLAT TIRE, THEY MAY END UP BEING STRANDED OR GET INJURED BECAUSE A TIRE IS NOT SECURELY MOUNTED.
