Car Shimmy's when hitting a bump or rough pavement. If this happens when road surface is wet or icy I feel car will slide enough to cause accident.

Swollen or warped lug nuts.
- Edmonds, WA, USA
After experiencing a flat tire on an Interstate, we discovereed the Ford-supplied lug wrench could not fit over the lug nuts without the person helping laying across a lane on the interestate and kicking the lug wrench over the lug nut. And, then, disengaging the lug wrench took extreme effort. The person helping me could have been killed by traffic ignoring the position of my car. There is ample reference to the lug nut problem on Google'd Web pages. The lug nuts on our Edge have not been inspected, yet. No warning lamps apply to this problem.

According to Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney, Texas, they are unable to rotate the tires on my vehicle because the lug nuts are swollen and would have to be cut off and replaced to fix. This leaves me with an unsafe vehicle and an inability to change the tire should I have a flat.

The factory installed lugs nuts have become swollen and now the lug nut wrench which is provided by Ford does NOT fit the lug nuts! If I tried to change a flat tire I would be unable to do this since the lug nut wrench does NOT fit the lug nuts!!!!

- Iola, TX, USA
Lug nuts could not be removed with manufacturer's lug nut wrench, after a tire deflated while driving on interstate 75 in Kentucky. The wrench would not fit over the lug nuts. An aftermarket lug nut wrench would also not remove the nuts (21mm was too small; 22mm was too large). The lug nuts on the wheels are original manufacturer installed nuts. Car had to be driven on the flat tire to service center for wheel removal, destroying the tire in the process.
- Cullowhee, NC, USA
The wheel lug nuts swell up so that a 21mm wrench wont fit and a 22mm wrench is too loose. The lugs are a two piece construction and what happens is the inner piece ca roads and swells the outside piece. Dealer says all 20 nuts have to be replaced at a coast of $200. Ford has had this problem for years ! my nephew had the same problem on his 2011 F-150 Ford truck.I called Ford customer service and they gave me a claim number cas-17162485. This is a safety issue because if I get a flat tire my lug wrench is useless and I would be stranded. Please look into this problem, talking with the Ford service tech.at the Ford dealership this has been a ongoing problem for years
