NHTSA Complaint #11096791 — 2016 FORD ESCAPE

I HAD A FLAT TIRE . TRIED TO REMOVE LUGNUTS AND MY WRENCH WOULD NOT FIT LUGNUTS AND THE LUGNUTS I DID GET TO FIT WOULD NOT COME LOOSE. WE CALLED FORD ROADSIDE. ASSISTANCE. TECH EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING TRYING TO USE HIS POWER DRIVER TO REMOVE THEM. HE REPORTED THAT LUGNUTS WERE STRIPED DUE TO ALUMINUM COATIING AND THAT CAUSED THE OVER TIGHTENING. I WAS STRANDED FOR 2 HOURS. WOULD NOT COME OFF DUE TO ALUMINUM COATING PLACED OVER STEEL THIS ENABLING WRENCH TO FIT. THE WEAK METAL ALUMINUM SWELLED AND WHEN MY TIRES WERE ROTATED OVER TIGHTENING OCCURED. . THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE ALUMINUM IS A WEAK METAL AND IT GIVES. A MAJOR ENGINEERING FLAW. OVER TIGHTENING THESE NUTS WILL CAUSE THE LUGNUTS TO BREAK OFF AND WHEEL COULD COME OFF AND CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. I WAS ON A CITY STREET. I AM ENCOURAGING NHTSA TO CALL A RECALL NOT FOR MY BENEFIT BUT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL WHO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES. LIVES ARE SOMETIMES LOST BECAUSE GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING. IS THERE A CHANCE A TIRE CAN COME OFF DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND OVERBECAUSE OF LUGNUTS BEING OVERTIGHTENED? IF THE ANSWER IS YES TO THIS QUESTION THEN THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FORD. IT'S CALLED ACCOUNTABILITY. THANK YOU
