Swollen lug nuts as per apple ford of red lion. I had my car in for oil change and rotate the tires. They will not rotate for fear of breaking lug nuts. They will sell me new lug nuts and not charge me to put them on. Is this defect currently being looked at? A search online says its a common problem.

So i called aaa roadside assistance and a tech arrived. After spending a considerable amount of time trying to find a wrench to fit the lug nuts, the tech advised that i should call a tow truck to tow the vehicle. I then called for a tow…

When i went to roy o'brien ford to get my oil changed i requested "the works" which includes tire rotation. I was advised that they could not rotate the tires unless i replaced the lug nuts.

According to online info , this problem is known…

Driving my family home, my dashboard displayed a message to "service power steering soon" steering wasn't an immediate problem...however, a few hours later, i attempted to drive the vehicle to a mechanic and when i turned the wheel the steering was very hard to do, very stiff. There was also a message that came on the dashboard that said to "service power steering now". I contacted a mechanic & they informed that i…

I was checking the lug nut torque on my wheels and the 19 mm and 3/4" socket would no longer fit. I checked with the tire shop that recently rotated my tires, and they confirmed that the lug nuts were swollen. They and later i had to use a hammer to bang on sockets on some of the lug nuts. I had to buy replacement lug nuts and replace them myself. This issue was found while the vehicle was stationary, but it could…

Swollen lug nuts due to rust forming under chrome outer shell. This prevents a lug wrench from fitting over the nut and therefore the wheel cannot be removed. This was discovered while stationary.

The power steering assist code keeps coming on on the dash every othee day for well over a year now. When that comes on you can barely steer the fricken thing when it happens. Ive been lucky enough to have it happen while driving slow in town and havent had any accidents luckily. Some very close calls though!

Takata recall i received the notification concerning the airbag recall in the mail the day before the vehicle was involved in an accident and was eventually considered to be a total loss. The airbag in the drivers side did deploy and pieces of what i thought were glass were embedded in my skin on my left hand though there wasn't any glass in that area that seemed to be loose. I also noticed that the airbag continued…

I was involved in a rear end accident yesterday while coming off the highway offramp. A soda can was under my brake pedal making it impossible to slow down. I rear ended a vehicle stopped at the light, i was going 35 -40 mph. Both vehicles were totalled and i hit my head on the windshield because the air bags never deployed.

It all started with slipping and movement in the front left tire. It so happened to be the axle and steering knuckle. As i was doing a tire rotation i noticed that the rear left tire has a wavy inside pattern worn out and the right rear tire is worn out from the inside. From my understanding all the wheels have to be adjusted correctly because if i were to buy a new set of tires they will be worn out the same way i…

I was given a small tire, car jack and lug it wrench upon buying this car new. Nowhere in the documentation did it state that the lug wrench will not allow one to change a tire due to the rediculous tin lugnut caps that come standard on my car. I cannot remove a tire due to lug it caps. The least they could do is supply a tool to allow one to change a tire if needed. This is a horrible thing to discover when you…
