I purchased my Ford Escape new and had all maintenance and repairs completed at the Ford dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Ford and its dealerships have been aware of this problem for years, yet they failed to advise the owners of vehicles that were inclined to experience swollen lug nut issues. Ford had a class action lawsuit dismissed regarding this issue and there has been no recall notice. Even if Ford takes no responsibility for this matter, it would appear that Ford and its dealerships do not wish to extend the courtesy of advising its customers of this potential problem. I fail to understand why the dealership which did my regular tire rotations did not advise me of the issue until the lug nuts became swollen and would now charge me $100+ to replace. I purchased a special socket wrench for $13 and new lug nuts for $21 to resolve the problem, but I am not sure if I will ever go back to that dealership for service.
