Consumer Description

OEM ALUMINUM LUG NUTS DEFORM OVER TIME AFTER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. LUG NUTS SWELL AND BECOME STUCK TO THE WHEEL. PROVIDED OEM TIRE WRENCH CANNOT REMOVE LUG NUTS. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR TRYING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO PERFORM RECALL AND PROVIDE REPLACE WITH NON-DEFECTIVE LUG NUTS. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED SAME ISSUE, BUT FORD THUS FAR REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL.
