All Wheelslugsnutsboltsstuds Complaints
The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where a front wheel alignment was performed, and the front driver’s side lug nuts were replaced. The contact stated that while driving at 10 MPH, the front driver’s side wheel detached from the vehicle, and the contact lost control of the vehicle. Due to the failure, the vehicle sustained extensive front-end damage, and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The Insurance Provider sent a Claims Adjuster to assess the damages and declared the vehicle a total loss. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.
Lug nuts are 2 piece: The thread piece and the chrome head piece. The pieces became loose from each other, then the thread piece rusted and caused the chrome piece to swell and deform so the lug wrench could no longer fit on the lugnut, thus making it impossible to loosen. This can be a major problem when changing a flat tire. I needed to take my car to an auto mechanic to have several of the factory installed lugnuts replaced. I will need to buy replacement non-OEM lugnuts so this doesn’t happen any more. I read that this is a problem happening on many Ford vehicles.
