NHTSA Complaint #11535106 — 2019 FORD EDGE

The lug nuts have swelled on all of the wheels of my Ford Edge. The lug nut wrench that Ford included with the vehicle is now unusable because it will not fit the lug nuts. This becomes a safety issue because my wife and I can no longer change a flat tire on her vehicle. We sometimes drive in areas with little or no lighting. It is also a financial issue because I will have to hire a tow truck company to replace the flat tire and then purchase new lug nuts to make the vehicle safe. I understand this is a wide spread problem with Ford vehicles. I can’t believe the government has not made Ford do a recall on these lug nuts. I guess once again big industry gets preferential treatment over the safety of the citizens.
