I have a 2010 ford fusion se with 12593.2 miles which I purchased new. The wheels have never been removed from the vehicle. Before removing the lug nuts of the front drivers' wheel to do a tire rotation, I noticed a lug nut missing. The stud had failed. I am very worried about the remaining studs and have read that others have had similar failures. I will be consulting my dealer monday for a solution.

Found two missing lug nuts/studs from the left rear tire of a 2010 ford fusion. Car had only 10,000 miles and the tires/wheels had never been serviced. I found 1 lug nut with the stuud in it laying in my street. Stud looks like a clean break not typically associated with overtightening. After insisting, the dealer replaced both. Will keep an eye on the rest based on number of complaints found online.
I discovered missing lug nuts on two separate wheels on my 2010 ford fusion se. The front passenger side wheel and the rear drivers side wheel. As I looked closer, I noticed that the wheel stud bolt had broken off. I do not know when the wheel studs broke although the one on the rear driver side appears to have happened some time ago as the surface of the break has already corroded. The surface of the break on the front passenger wheel appears to be more recent as there is little to no corrosion. This issue did not cause an accident or any vehicle damage that I am aware of at this time. The vehicle has 17,460 miles on it and was purchased at the end of may 2010. This vehicle is used for personal use - I drive it to and from work which is a 65 mile round trip.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford fusion. The contact stated that the rear tire studs fractured several times and were replaced yet the failure consistently recurred.

Involves 3 identical 2010 ford fusions that were purchased new for our company fleet, purchased total of 22 cars in this delivery. On 3 separate occasions involving 3 separate cars our fleet drivers experienced vibration and shimmy/shake while operating cars. It was determined in both cases that the vehicles lug nut on one vehicle and 3 on another had failed. These vehicles were never serviced other than a oil change and were less than 3 months in service when the incidents occured. They occured approxiimately one month apart and involved 3 different drivers. The cars were fixed under warranty by local ford dealers who could not explain the reasoning other than to say someone may have tried to steal them or overtorqued the lug nuts. Vehicles were not garaged at same addresses and again were never serviced as they were new and the tires were steel wheel with hubcaps. The likeliness that 3 different cars on 3 different occasions had attempted wheel thefts is fairly low. We questioned why a thief would overtighten lug nuts, and both dealers replaced parts under warranty. Parts replaced involved wheel lug nuts and studs. Parts were retained by dealers.

I went to move my 2010 ford fusion in my driveway and noticed that one of my driver side rear tire lug nuts was missing. Looking closer the whole stud had sheared off. The car only has 9788 miles and an identical problem on another 2010 ford fusion with 10500 miles had three studs sheared on the rear passenger side wheel.
