2016 Ford Mustang Wheels Problems

“I have had two collision in my vehicle and the air bags did not deploy either time. Both were at a rate of speed approximately 50 MPH. One was a rear end collision that was on the drivers side rear. The other was to the driver side wheel and light area. The rear collision I was in motion about 10 MPH and was struck at approx. 50 MPH. The frontal collision I was traveling about 40 MPH and was struck moving at approx. 40-50 MPH. This complaint is in regards to the frontal collision. I have photos but cannot get them to upload but provide them for further investigation.”

“The vehicle has approximately 1000 miles on the odometer. In an effort to rectify squealing brakes, I checked each lug nut to ensure they were tightened to factory specification. All twenty (4 wheels with 5 lug nuts each) were only tightened to approximately 90ft-lbs of torque. Ford specifies in the owners manual that lug nuts be torqued to 150ft-lbs. I used two different styles of torque wrench to conduct my test. One type was used to loosen ten lug nuts and another was used to loosen the remaining ten. My intent was to rule out any gross error in torque readings. …”

“Temporary loss of control of vehicle due to shaking, popping, vibration and loud noise from steering assembly, car wheels and steering wheel when initiating initial movement of vehicle from a cold condition (startup from a cold/parked state). This has happened repeatedly on an intermittent basis in the four months that I have owned this vehicle.”

“I recently took my vehicle to the local Ford dealer to get the oil changed and tires rotated. The service technician told me that they could not do the tire rotation without replacing my lug nuts at a cost of $100 because the lug nuts were swollen. I told her I wasn't interested thinking this was some type of bogus sales ploy. I mean how can lug nuts swell? She then threatened, well you know if you have a flat you'll be stuck on the side of the road unable to change the tire! This made me angry because I thought it was a bunch of baloney. …”

“I took my 2016 Ford Mustang to a local Discount Tire store to replace my front passenger seat tire. A few minutes after my car was pulled into the work Bay I was called to the front desk. The store supervisor advised me at that time that his technicians noted that my Lug nuts were swelling and would soon either burst causing my tire to potentially become dislodged or at the very least many garages would not be able to remove the lug nuts and ultimately the tire. He added that this was a common and known issue of Ford and there was even a potential class action suit regarding the issue. …”
