Consumer Description

The lug nuts on all four wheels needed to be replaced because of swelling. This was determined by Evergreen Ford when I brought the truck in for oil change and tire rotation, etc. If this was not found it could have been a huge safety risk for the occupants in the truck and for others. A wheel very likely could have come off causing sever injury or death. If Evergreen Ford did not notice the problem I could heave been driving with faulty lug nuts. I did replace all the lug nuts at the Ford dealership. I am very surprised that Ford Motor Company did not issue a recall on this hazardous condition sooner, that knowing very well for several years, that this issue existed. I spent $82.32 + tax that Ford should have taken care of thru a recall. Most importantly I hope that no one gets injured or dies because of the faulty part which Ford Motor should have taken care of a long time ago.
