NHTSA Complaint #11057149 — 2010 FORD FUSION

COMPLAINT INVOLVING FORD FUSION TIRE BOLTS AND LUG NUTS (2010 MODEL). THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE TIRE BOLTS BREAK (3 ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND 2 ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE). THE VEHICLE FRONT TIRE BOLTS AND LUG NUTS WERE FIXED BY THE ORIGINAL FORD DEALER FOR THE A RECALL FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE RIGHT AFTER WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010. WE'VE RECENTLY NOTICED A DIFFERENCE DRIVING (BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY) AND TOOK IT IN FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS AROSE AGAIN IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION. FORD DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE, HOWEVER WE'VE READ THAT THERE IS A LAWSUIT IN MI REGARDING SWOLLEN LUG NUTS AND WONDER IF THIS IS RELATED. FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE COLLECTED ONCE OUR REPAIR IS PAID FOR.
