    Went to mike bass ford in sheffield, oh for my routine maintenance. Vehicle has only ever been serviced at ford dealerships (with the exception of new tires at discount tire in avon, oh). Was informed by the service advisor that the lug nuts were swollen due to the two-piece design and that they would all need to be replaced. I was quoted $59 per wheel which i declined. Contacted ford about my extended warranty on…

    Took the car in for regular maintence & was told that they would have to break the lug bolts to rotate tires and i would have to pay to have them replaced. No one has touched this car, but the dealership. Ford has admitted to the faulty design, but never issued a recall for this defective part. I think this should be done at no cost to me.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.…

    When i took my car into the dealership for routine maintenance, including a tire rotation, the mechanics had to use a "ripper" to take all but three of my lug nuts off. Apparently, ford's lug nuts are a two metal design that is susceptible to swelling over periods of use. After doing some homework i discovered that this is a pervasive issue. It has been presented to the courts and the nhtsa, yet it wasn't considered…

    Backed out of driveway on a main road and put car in drive but it kept rolling backwards put my foot on the brake and put it in park but it still rolled back after several tries to change gears and it did not come out of reverse i put the car in park and cut it off and it would not crank. After having it checked i learned that the transmission gear shift cable had come off causing the car not to change gears

    Goodyear eagle ls2 tires were described by the local ford technician during a pre-vacation service as needing to be replaced in the near future. That is at a mileage reading of 21,338.7 miles. There is also a very pronounced tire rumble at highway speed and tire wear is also very high and irregular. I will probably replace with michelin tires in the near future.
