My Car has swollen lug nuts . I was informed of this by a Dealer who refused to remove the nuts to rotate the tires . I expressed a concern that I had a flat would the lug wrench remove nuts . I was told probably not. I travel long distances . This possibly means I could be stranded for an extended time due to a known fact. I have replaced the nuts but believe I should have been notified earlier by Lincoln .

Lug nuts are swollen and almost impossible to remove. I could not change a flat tire. Firestone insisted that I needed to replace the lug nuts. Apparently this is a known Ford/Lincoln problem.

Went to the dealer for oil change & tire rotation. Service department told me they could not do the tire rotation due to the fact they could not remove the lug nuts. They wanted me to buy new lug nuts at a cost of $334.00. I declined, decided to research on my own to replace. Hopefully I don’t have to worry about a wheel falling off.

WHEELS
Brought vehicle into the dealer for tire rotation service. They said they could not take my wheels off the car because the lug nuts have become swollen. This is a common condition where the chromed metal lug nut covers become separated from the lug nuts and expand such that the lug nut socket no longer fits. This means that I can't remove a wheel to fix a flat on the road which become a real hazard.

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for routine maintenance, the dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts needed to be replaced due to the lug nut edges being rounded. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had safety concerns if the vehicle had a flat tire in a rural area or in cold weather conditions where the lug nuts could not be removed with a lug wrench to replace a flat tire. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,963.

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH ON SINGLE LANE ROAD. ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF CAME ON AND CAR STOPPED. LUCKILY NOBODY REARENDED ME. SAME THING HAPPENED TO OUR FRIEND'S 2014 MKX. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND DROVE TO DEALER. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ERROR SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS IT WOULD PROBABLY KILL ME.

COUPLE OF MONTH AGO THEY START RANDOMLY DROP PRESSURE WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE, I PUMPED THEM BACK AND CONTINUE DRIVE. YESTERDAY WHEN I CAME OUT OF STORE ONE OF TIRES HAD 0 PRESSURE. I PUT SPARE TIRE AND DROVE 1/2 MILE TO BELLE TIRE STORE TO FIX IT. TECHNICIAN REFUSE TO FIX A TIRE AS THREAD WORN BEYOND REPAIR (FOR 20000 MILES?). I BROUGHT TIRE HOME AND USED MY AIR COMPRESSOR TO PUMP IT UP AND INSPECT MYSELF - NO DAMAGE FOUND (NO NAILS OR OTHER VISUAL CUTS OR TEARS). ALL OTHER TIRES HAD LOWER PRESSURE AS WELL FROM 27 TO 31 PSI. THOSE HANKOOK TIRES ARE TERRIBLE AND REQUIRED CONSTANT PRESSURE CHECK. 20000 MILES ONLY TO REPLACE $250 TIRE IS TERRIBLE AND NOT SAVE TO DRIVE.
