Lug nuts on vehicle expand split and cannot be removed from wheel. Various mechanics at costco and ford dealerships state that this is a known problem. The replacement of the lug nuts cost $165.00 for to replace on the four tires. After replacing the lug nuts by an authorized ford dealer I was told this could happen again. The problem was discovered when I tried to rotate the tires. When I paid for the replacement and aske3d for the old parts I was told they had already been disposed of.

Steering wheel shakes real bad on stopping the harder the stop the worse it shakes this truck has 16000 miles on it now and the problem seems to have started after the 1st service and tire rotation (about 8500 miles) although it did not start immediately after but rather seemed to get worse over time from that point I believe that it is warped brake rotors possibly from cheap or defective oem parts the truck has never been off road or abused just daily drive to from work 19 miles each way.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact was driving 70 MPH when the vehicle started to jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who re-balanced the tires as a temporary fix. The remedy failed to repair the problem. The vehicle was then taken to a local mechanic who advised that the wheels could possibly have been defective. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 11,991.
