NHTSA Complaint #11572488 — 2017 FORD EDGE

I took my 2017 Ford Edge to a Ford Dealer to get an oil change and tires rotating on he rear of the vehicle; however, they told me that the lug nuts on both rear wheels have the two piece lug nuts that Ford put on several of their vehicles that have swollen and delaminated rendering the vehicle’s lug wrench and their wrench useless. So needless to say, they were not able to fulfill the works service I pad for that included the oil change, fluid check and tire rotation. So in the event I get a flat tire, or when I decide to get new tires, I'm going to have to a Ford dealer and pay a premium for tires (I just had the front tires done 2 weeks agao and got Goodyear ties for $161 each, whereas Ford quoted me almost $260 per for the same tire). And they said they'd also have the charge me to drill, use a cutting torch and something else to get the lug nut off without damaging the wheel stud; they didn't give me a cost estimate on that, but going to assume it's between $50-100. So instead of paying $320 for 2 reach tires like i did 2 weeks, I'd be looking at between $570 - $620 for 2 rear tires because Ford decided to use some cheap lug not that they know are defective, but continue to use them?? I thought the nhtsa was supposed to help consumers and not allow companies to continue taking advantage of consumers. However, I also submitted something to you about 6-9 months ago on this same vehicle. Ford has a 2.0 Ecoboost Engine in many vehicles and thousands if not hundreds of thousands have had to replace engines because of Ford's design that causes the cylinder tor something to crack and then coolant leaks into the motor. The only option once this occurs is to sale to another unexpected buyer, or do want my wife and I had to do and pay Ford another $8500 to put a new motor in, which will probably fail again. So please do something; Ford should not be allowed to continue use defective parts with no recalls, as Ford has already gotten their thousands.
