Consumer Description

Purchased 4 new tires for my car only to be told that the lug nuts were all swollen and had to be replaced. from what I have read this is an ongoing problem with Ford and I don't feel it should be MY responsibility to pay for their mistakes. It also could have been a major problem had they broke loose while I was driving. This is unacceptable!
