While driving home on I- 55, one of my back tires blew up on 2015 ford fusion. This nearly caused a potentially fatal accident! On saturday, I called michelin, the manufacturer of the tire and they told me to take the tire to discount tire.

Took the car in to have a tire replaced and was told the swollen lug nuts prevent them from removing the tire. I had issues with lug nuts on another wheel but was able to get them off and replaced them. I shouldn't have to be paying $27 for lug nuts that are defective.

I am here to have safety recall(s) performed on my 2015 Ford Fusion. They cannot do the recall without changing defective (rusted lug nuts) at a cost of $160.00. Rusted lug nuts seem to be an issue with this model car and I feel should be covered as part of the recall if the replacement of the lug nuts is required to perform the recall safety service.

The lug nuts make it impossible to remove with either the tool ford provided, a 4 way wrench or sockets when I got a flat. I could have been killed fighting with this on the side of the road. I believe ford should have to replace all of these lug nuts as a safety concern since they are defective.
