Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I took my truck into the dealership for service and they advised me that they couldn't rotate my tires because I have swollen lugs which I understand is a common problem with Ford vehicles between 2005 and 2015. They told me I would need to buy new ones and that if I had a flat tire the jack that comes with the vehicle would not be able to remove these lugs.”
NHTSA complaint #11350729, filed 2020-08, 138,964 miles“Luckily I was not stranded on the side of the road but having worked for Ford this is a known issue and has now happened to both of my Ford trucks. Ford makes lug nuts with aluminum casings that after 1-5 uses become swollen and making it impossible to remove lug nuts from vehicle especially in an emergency situation which could result in someone taking more time than needed on the side of the road struggling to break said lug nuts loose and will result in someone being struck by another vehicle.. This has been an ongoing issue for 10 + years. …”
NHTSA complaint #11310186, filed 2020-02, 75,000 miles“I parked the vehicle, removed the key from the ignition, and went into my home. I heard a loud noise coming from outside the house, and when I went out, the vehicle had rolled down the road approximately 75 yards and crashed into a tree.”
NHTSA complaint #10607827, filed 2014-07, 110,000 miles“I took my Ford f150 to the dealer for a routine oil and tire rotation. The service rep came to me and said that it will take a little longer for service because your lug nuts are swelling. He explained to me that I should purchase new lug nuts because a special dealer tool is needed to remove the swelled lug nut. If I have a flat tire, I would not be able to change it do to the swelled lug nuts which would require a tow to a Ford dealer. Ford knows of the problem with the lugnuts swelling, which is why they have a special tool. …”
