NHTSA complaint #11217993, filed 2019-06, 21,000 miles“2024- 2/1 issue with lug nuts. Purchased 4 new tires July 2023 at Walmart... The only time all 4 tires had been removed for new tires. Now 2/1 the lug nuts are swollen and no good. Walmart or Ford Problem??

NHTSA complaint #11569509, filed 2024-02“The lug nuts are bulging and won't come off which as needed then the wheel can't as well. Just had new tires put on which the shop had to destroy one to get the wheel off. If a flat tire occurred I would not be able to take off a wheel and change it. I have heard this is a problem on the design for many Ford vehicles.”

While the contact’s wife was pulling into the driveway, the contact heard an abnormal hissing sound coming from the rear passenger’s side tire. The contact used a set of pliers to remove a stone from the tire, causing the tire to deflate. The contact attempted to replace the tire and discovered that the lug nuts were swollen, preventing the lug nuts from being removed. The contact called his son and was able to use other tools to remove the lug nuts. …”
