NHTSA Complaint #11582664 — 2010 FORD FUSION

This vehicle has had multiple incidents in which the wheel studs on the front wheels will break off while driving. The last time this occurred, I noticed that 3 of the 5 wheel studs on the right-front wheel were broken off. When this was discovered, I contacted a Ford dealer and they said that there was no recall for this issue and didn't have any idea on how this had occured. I then contacted the last shop that had worked on the vehicle. They confirmed that the lug nuts were tightened using a torque wrench at the proper specifications. I have replaced several wheel studs and lug nuts on this vehicle in the past after they were found to be missing. The vehicle exhibits no vibration or warning signs while driving. This could have resulted in the wheel falling off while driving without warning.
