I just brought my car in to my Ford dealership to have an oil change and tires rotated. They are the only ones that service my car. I was told they could not rotate my tires as my lug nuts were swollen. I'm told that the extended warranty that I bought from Ford will not cover that. Now I'm going to be out $110 or they won't rotate my tires and was told that I may not be able to get my tire off if I get a flat.

Went to get brakes replaced and found out the lug nuts were jammed on and could not be removed, took it to the deal to find out they were swollen on and no one would have been able to remove them but them! They stated they see it all the time if I had a flat no one would have gotten them off it would have had to towed! To me this is a safety hazard that could leave me stranded. They said this was comment I called ford they would not acknowledge

When at the dealer for an oil change and tire rotation I was informed the dealer could not rotate tires because the lugnuts were bad and needed replacing. I stated our 2011 Ford Edge had the same issue. The manager said that ford has an issue with the lugnuts for several years. It cost me $172.80 for the new lugnuts AND I had to make another appointment because they did' nt have any in stock.

The lug nuts are swollen up and the lug wrench that came with the vehicle. Had the tires rotated at a Firestone Service center and the service Tech said he couldn't get the 22mm socket to fit. I search this problem and found there is a problem with the two piece lug nuts swelling up.
