The lug nuts on the ford fusion are known to swell to greater than their original size. When these lug nuts swell, the lug nut wrench will no longer fit, so they must be drilled or extracted, and have the potential to fracture when driving. I have replaced the lug nuts twice, so i am on my third set. If i were to have a flat tire, i was told it would have to be towed as the wrench would not fit the lug nuts. "the…

Lug nuts corrode and you cannot get the lug wrench on them to remove tire. This is a known issue according to several ford techs. I've already had to replace one set of lug nuts due to this issue and now i am being told i need to replace them again.

Wheel studs breaking. I have now had 9 wheel studs break, 8 during normal servicing and 1 while actually driving. Since with alloy wheels there was no hubcap, the wheel nut and the top of the bolt was missing. There was an original recall for this but only for cars with steel wheels. My car has alloy wheels but i consider 9 breaks to be unsafe.

In december of 2011 my car had a recall for fracturing wheel studs. I bought my car at a year old. A few months after i bought my car two wheel studs snapped off. I called ford to get the parts to fix it and they said nothing about the recall. Then about 6 months later on opposite side another wheel stud broke. I again called ford and then they decide to mention the recall. Apparently there was one issued before i…

During a routine tire rotation, one of the lug nut studs broke off of the front driver's side wheel. There were no signs of corrosion, cross-threading or other damage to the stud, it simply sheered off at the wheel surface when the mechanic tried to loosen the lug nut. This is the second time this has happened on the same wheel, and in both cases the mechanic indicated that he had never seen a stud break off under…

When loosening my lug nuts for a routine tire rotation, a wheel stud broke off on each of my front tires, for a total of two broken studs. The last time the right front wheel was tightened was at ford to replace a previous broken lug nut! Ford would not replace all of my wheel studs at that time. Recall #11v574000 (ford recall #11s23) does not list the manufacturing date of my vehicle so ford would not replace all…

I ended up on the left side of the road off the shoulder before i could stop it. It happened on several occasions. Car dies for no reason. I end up having it towed or restarted by charging battery. The battery always has a full charge. Also i have…

Noticed a lug nut was missing from my right front tire. On closer inspection i saw that the wheel stud was broken off. I have never used air tools on the wheel and the lugs have always been torqued to manufacturer's recommended specification (100 ft lbs). There is a similar recall #11v574000 (ford recall #11s23) active, but it does not list the manufacturing date of my vehicle in this recall. *js
