The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while changing the lug nuts on the wheels, the contact became aware that the lug nuts were swollen. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was determined that the lug nuts needed to be replaced due to the outer shells being swollen. The dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts were defective due to the swelling, which caused the lug nuts to no longer fit the studs properly.

The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Scheduled tire rotation with Ford. Unable to complete because of lug nuts swelling which Ford is aware of. My lug wrench does not fit. I now have to spend $200.00 to replace all lug nuts on a 2019 Ford Edge. This should be a recall issue and at least a safety issue. To be stranded on the road only to find out the lug wrench…

Ford tells me the Lug nuts on my car's tires have become loose, expanded. My car has only 31k miles. Yet, these faulty parts make it at risk of tires flying off while driving!! Ford wants to charge me to replace their faulty nuts. That's nuts!

I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchas…

I took my 2019 Ford Edge Titanium in for an oil change and tire rotation. Ford would not do a tire rotation because of the swollen lug nuts. What? 5000 miles earlier I brought the vehicle in, and Nothing was said about swollen lug nuts at that time. I was told that I would have to purchase 20 new ones for 200.00. I could purchase the Ford brand or an aftermarket brand. There is no guarantee that the lug nuts may not have to be purchased again because of this issue. If this is a true safety issue, this is on you, Ford! Keep your customers safe and have a RECALL on lug nuts and not make me pay for your mistake!

Ford dealership told me my 2019 Ford Edge has swollen lug nuts. It would cost me $197.00 to have them replaced. Vehicle has almost 61,000 miles. Declined to have them replaced because the service department removed one lug nut and it looked very good.

When obtaining a tire rotation at the Ford Dealership, I was told that I had swollen lug nuts and for safety reasons should be replaced. I never had a vehicle with this problem. To replace all the lug nuts, it was a cost to me of $259.20. This is a manufacturer defect that should have been covered under my extended warranty but was not. I was told that the lug nuts could seize and not be able to be removed if I needed to change my tire. This in my opinion is a safety concern and should be addressed.
