The factory Ford lug nuts have "swollen" so that the 2 piece "cap" has detached from the actual nut preventing me from removal or properly tightening the lug nut to the wheel. In the even of a flat tire, this would be impossible to change along the highway.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver's side front tire became flat. The contact pulled to the side of the road to replace the driver's side front tire; however, she was unable to remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench. AAA arrived on the scene but was also unable to remove the lug nuts. AAA informed the contact that the aluminum caps on the lug nuts prevented the lug wrench from removing the lug nuts. The vehicle was towed to a tire repair specialist where twenty-four lug nuts were replaced. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the failure was a wear and tear issue. The manufacturer advised the contact to file a complaint with the federal safety agency Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I wanted to have a tire rotation and balance completed at the dealership but they could not do it due to the swelling of the lug nuts. I don’t have any way to change my tire in case of a flat along the road or worse, a wheel falling off.

I purchased my Ford Expedition new in January 2018 and have driven it 40,000 miles. When I took it to Wyatt Johnson Ford yesterday for a routine oil change and tire rotation, I was told that it has "Swollen lug nuts." I have Extended Plus Elite New warranty, Ultimate Titanium Plus warranty, and Perma Plate Appearance Protection warranty; but was told that the warranties would not cover replacement of the swollen lug nuts. Apparently this is a poor design and Ford should redesign the lug nuts and issue a recall.

Ford makes A 2 part faulty lugnuts which warps and can cause separation and consequently an accident! I was told at my last oil change January 2022 that I'd need to pay to have the lug nuts changed but they'd put the same. Or I can buy after Market lug nuts which is 1 whole part and pay to replace all of them.
