Consumer Description
LUG NUTS. TWO PIECE DESIGN. CHROME PART SWELLS AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE LUG NUTS WITHOUT DAMAGING THEM. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED BUT REJECTED. I HAD TO BUY A SET OF 20 NEW LUG NUTS FOR $104. FORD TECHNICIANS AND CUSTOMERS HAVE LOST MONEY BECAUSE OF THIS. I WANTED TO REPORT ANOTHER OCCURANCE IN THE HOPES THAT FORD WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I CAN PROVIDE A RECEIPT FOR THE PURCHASE, IF NECESSARY.
