Consumer Description
Upon completion of oil change and tire rotation at Wayne County Ford in Honesdale PA, we were called and told our lug nuts were swollen, all 20, and needed to be replaced at a cost of $150. We told them not to replace them and during a conversation with the service manager, he said Ford puts a cap over them, water gets under the cap, and swells the lug nut. Sounded ridiculous. We wrote to the Owner of the dealership and at this time we are riding with swollen lug nuts till we can find some affordable ones, putting us at risk. There are TORQ wrench marks on my lug nuts which were not there before. Overtightening seems to have taken place.
