Consumer Description

I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND THE LUG WRENCH PROVIDED FROM THE FACTORY WILL NOT GO ONTO THE LUG NUTS. I WAS ON THE ROAD SIDE WITH NO WAY TO CHANGE THE TIRE.I HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME TO GET MY OWN TOOLS AND HAMMER A SOCKET ONTO THE LUGNUTS TO REMOVE THEM.LOOKING ONLINE FORD IS BEING SUED OVER SWOLLEN LUG NUTS THE DEFECT BEING THEY ARE TWO PIECES AND THEY CORRODE AND SWELL. THE LUG WRENCH SUPPLIED ONLY STRIPS THE OUTER PIECE MAKING THE LUGS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE.I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT AS TOU CAN BE STRANDED IN AN UNSAFE AREA FOR HOURS IF YOU HAVE A FLAT.
