Pulling into traffic the truck suddenly shifts from fifth gear to second causing the vehicle to suddenly slow which makes getting slammed in the rear by another vehicle highly likely. At high speeds on the highway it becomes dangerous to change lanes and expect the truck to maintain speed. This problem is occurring frequently now so an accident is likely to occur. I want a loaner until Ford fins and makes the fix available.

LR wheel fell off on Hwy 40. Shop that towed us in and fixed the problem said probably caused by swollen lugs nuts and subsequent torquing issue.
Replaced lug nuts that had swollen and was not removable with standard socket at repair shop to repair flat tire. Chrome lugs with dissimilar metals caused the swelling. Unable to change tires to deal with roadside emergencies.
Could not remove the lug nuts. They did not fit in the lug wrench. They had to be hammered off.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while receiving routine tire rotation services, the contact was informed that the lug nuts had seized. The lug nuts were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, who informed the contact that the lug nuts had seized again. The lug nuts were replaced. The dealer informed the contact about using aftermarket lug nuts. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline.

Defective lug nuts came on my truck which I bought new in 2015. The Bradenton Auto Nation Ford dealership says that they can’t rotate my tires due to the swollen, defective lug nuts even though I paid for that with my oil change. I feel it is Ford’s responsibility to replace these defective parts to keep my truck safe and drivable in the future. There should be a recall for this issue.
