2017 Ford Edge Wheels Problems

“Tires were getting rotated when they told me the lug nuts were swollen and needed to be replaced. Please make this right. I already had to pay extra for the tires when getting new ones and now $146 to get lug nuts replaced. The car is 6 years old. Not to mention the safety issue of this-tire can fall off and possibly unable to change tire if there is a flat.”

“I have a flat tire but could not remove the lug nuts with the wrench provided when I purchased the vehicle. There are complaints on line that these lug nuts become swollen with time. When the vehicle was new the wrench worked fine. Ford would not replace the lug nuts at no charge. My tire shop confirmed that this is a common problem with ford lug nuts. Thank you.”

“Took my car in for oil change and tire rotation. I was called that all 20 of my lug nuts have to be replaced due to swelling. For $180, which I’ve never in my life had to replace the lug nuts on any other vehicle I’ve owned. Not just one but all 20 need to be replaced.”

“Hello, 1. Other - I've had to replace the CV joint on the same side twice in the last two years. -Yes you can inspect. -Safety was not at risk, I don't think. -I had them fixed at Pauli Ford in St. Johns, MI. -No warning lights. 2. Wheel - The lugnuts are swollen on all 4 wheels. -Yes you can inspect. -Safety and safety of others were at risk. -I'm getting them fixed at Costco with a full set of new tires. -No warning lights”

“SWOLLEN LUG NUTS - On 26 September 2022, my right rear tire picked up a nail causing a flat tire. After removing the spare, lug wrench and jack, I found the Ford factory lug wrench would not fit on the lug nuts. I required road side assistance for which I was billed $95 for the call (subsequently reimbursed by my insurance company). When the road side assistance serviceman arrived, he said it was a common Ford problem. He had larger sockets and easily installed the spare. I purchased replacement 20 lug nuts for $42.39. Reimbursement would be appropriate. …”
