Consumer Description

I JUST RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY LUG NUTS. EVERY LUG NUT HAD SWOLLEN SO BADLY THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. ONE OF THE LUG NUTS BROKE CLEAN OFF, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE WHEEL. ANOTHER LUG NUT WAS LOOSE AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECT. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A KNOWN SERIOUS DEFECT, OTHER FUSION OWNERS I'VE TALKED TO HAVE SAID THEY HAVE HAD A WHEEL FALL OFF AS A RESULT OF THE LUGNUTS SNAPPING.
