2018 Ford F-150 Wheels Problems

“While driving on a highway I experienced a flat tire on my 2018 F-150. After stopping, I attempted to change the tire. However, my tire iron wrench would not seat on two of the six lug nuts. Upon inspection, I could see these two lug nuts had become deformed. The truck had just passed 18,000 miles on the odometer and had no prior tire damage. The truck had undergone two tire rotations both at my local Ford dealership. I was eventually able to get the tire iron wrench to seat on the lug nuts by pounding it on with a set of pliers. …”

“2018 F-150 Ford super cab pick up. I had heard about swollen lug nuts and when I tried my lug nut wrench that came with vehicle, it would not fit. The issue is Ford uses a 2 piece lug nut and overtime they swell causing the outer layer to swell and that is why the vehicle lug nut wrench will not fit. I checked with the selling dealership and they said it is a rea deal. I asked if they had replacement nuts that are not oem 2 piece nuts. I was told yes but I will not sell them because I would have the same issue. So Ford doesn't even have an option to fix this issue. …”

“Intermittent grinding and vibration from the front of vehicle, while traveling at any speed, on highway and in town, suspect 4x4 system trying to engage.”

“The lug nuts on my 2018 F150 became swollen and distorted. The Ford dealer was unable to use the standard size socket to remove them. Dealer recommended I immediately replace them with solid steel lug nuts to prevent not being able to replace the tire/wheel while on the road in an emergency situation. I did replace them with a dealer recommended lug nut.”

“I took the truck in for oil change and rotation. One wheel had to have new lug nuts due to then being swollen and had to be drilled off. Which wasn’t a cheap expense. They told me the other 3 wheels were looking a little swollen too. That’s almost 1000$ just for lug nuts and most can’t afford to drop that cost on lugs”
