With all of the information that has been reported about this issue and having had all maintenance done by a FORD dealership and service center (GARBER FORD), I can't believe that a 3 year old car with less than 50,000 on it from a SUNSHINE state would require lug nuts to be replaced at the owners cost. How is this not a recall?? Is it dangerous? YES!!
Come on, Ford! Get your crap together and stand up for your mistakes!!

This has happened x3 times. My husband needed to call for tow, and tow driver was unable to get lug nuts off, for a damaged tire. The dealer has told us twice that they had difficulty getting the lug nuts off and wanted to replace them. I said no, should be a recall if this is a problem!! Something about swollen lug nuts because of copper tops, ridiculous. Ford needs to recall, dealer stated no safety risk.

Had oil change today at Ford Dealership. 42,412 mileage. They are telling us that all lug nuts need to be replaced due to sweating. I hear there has already been a lawsuit filed due to this problem. It was a Manufacturing problem, but they won't fix. Not fair to us purchasers who bought these cars. I will never get another Ford. It was a good car until this. Very expensive fix. We can't afford this mess. They should be responsible.
