the lug nut caps will not come off and no tire store in our area can get them off without charging an arm and a leg. what if we were on the road with a flat tire? my husband is [XXX] and i'm [XXX] . there is no way we'd be able to get the wheel off to change it. what if we had no cell service and a driver who is a criminal stops to "help".

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the rear passenger's side tire became flat, and the front passenger's side tire lost a significant amount of air pressure. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where all four tires were replaced with brand new tires; however, the failure recurred a week later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the deflated tires were resealed; however, the failure recurred a month later. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the rims were corroded. The dealer cleaned the corroded rims and resealed the tires; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the rims and the seal on the rims were defective, causing the tires to deflate. The dealer informed the contact that several other Ford vehicles of the same model were experiencing the rim failure. The contact was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied assistance due to the age of the vehicle; however, the dealer advised the contact that the failure was a factory defect and was not related to the age of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000.

My vehicle only has 74K miles and the Ford dealership told me I need to replace all lug nugs because they are swollen and will need to be broken off. This is a $200 cost at the dealership for replacement. If purchased at store it is $60 plus someone to change them out. No way at $74k miles this should happen. I've seen many other posts about the same this with this years model. Also since I have aluminum rims, the lugs are hard to locate anywhere. They must have the "mushroom" offset with long attachment.

I own a 2015 Ford Edge 4 door SEL with 76k miles which I purchased in 2017 as the second owner. The dealership sold me 5 new lug nuts due to swollen original lug nuts. One lug nut cap were damaged during routine removal to replace an 8 yr old failing tire pressure sensor. I was told the lugs were swollen and had to be replaced. This seemed OBSURD. I researched this to find out that the OBSURDITY was that Ford Motor Company had been sued about this and it is a known defect of Ford vehicles. Quietly known. I am submitting this complaint because of the defective lug nuts that are a known issue, and could have been replaced at the dealership from the very first oil change or routine maintenance appointment. These defective parts routinely strand motorists or cause unnecessary excess costs to the owners when the actual fix is far less than $1 for each. when the entire vehicle uses only 20, this is negligence on the part of Ford Motor company. As a consumer on a fixed income, who purchased the bumper to bumper warranty from Ford, the neglected $20 fix of MY vehicle has cost me over $75 so far, and if the dealership (an extension of Ford Motor Company) has their way, they are happy to charge me that for my 3 remaining tires. A total consumer burden of $300 (per the dealership pricing) for a $20 fix by the manufacturer. All becuase the know problem causes a financial burden and not enough consumers have actually had physical or catestrophic accidents,... yet. A RECALL is REQUIRED. If not, there should be a required reimbursement to ALL consumers who are forced to replace the defective parts. The reimbursement should be that the dealerships seek reimbursement, and that the consumers receive the replacements free of charge.

I have had to replace three tire pressure sensors in the past six months. Mileage is about 130,000 and do not understand why the sensors are all failing about the same time. $80 to replace peach sensor.

Car Shimmy's when hitting a bump or rough pavement. If this happens when road surface is wet or icy I feel car will slide enough to cause accident.
