While my car was there it was noted that one of the wheel studs (front passenger) was snapped off and appeared to have happened awhile ago because the exposed component was rusted. It was recommended that i contact ford…

I have a 2010 ford fusion and this is my second entry into this database for a broken stud. After ~21000 miles, a second stud on the front drivers wheel has failed by shearing completely. Once again the dealer will only replace the broken stud, leaving me to worry over the remaining studs. Also, it has taken two nights for the dealership to receive the new stud. *tr

While pulling out of the driveway a neighbor noticed a lug nut fall off my vehicle. I stopped the car immediately and we determined that the car was missing 2 lug nuts, one from each front tire. We went to make sure the remaining lug nuts were securely attached and when applying a slight amount of pressure to another lug nut it snapped off. This happened with two nuts. The inside stud that the lug nut attached to…

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. *tr

After driving our 2010 ford fusion in snow it would drive like the tires were out of balance (serious vibration after about 35-40 mph). I solved this problem by putting it in a heated garage overnight. I brought up my concern to a local ford service center. They acknowledged that this is a problem and suggested spraying the wheel area with a lubricant such as pam cooking oil to keep the snow and ice from collecting…
