Hundreds of Ford owners from over 10 states in the US have reportedly sued Ford for installing bad wheel nuts in their cars.

Some of the affected brands are The Ford Fusion, Flex, Focus, Escape and F-350. The wheel nuts were said to be not strong enough, causing them to swell and break, also making it difficult to replace or remove wheels without involving some expensive method.

The law suit was filed by a law firm, Hagens Berman, which came before the US District for the Eastern District of Michigan, on Thursday, the 24th.

According to the managing partner of the firm, Steve Berman, “We’re not talking about breakthrough technology or computerized aspects of the auto world. We’re talking about possibly the simplest part of the car — the lug nuts. Ford chose to make its lug nuts with an inferior design that puts cosmetics ahead of safety and directly led to harm to consumers,”

If you have ordered or pre-ordered any of the Ford brands mentioned, it’s strongly advised you have your agent check for this fault.

I'm not racist . But seriously I dislike most Americans.
They Complain too MUCH.
They hardly appreciate something. They must say shit it.
You will see an American complaining about squeaky breaks after using the brake pads for thousands of miles or years!!! .
And they will rate the car 1 star. And write I will never buy this car again.
Same American will not change his Cvt transmission after riding it for 100,000 miles.
If the Cvt fails they will rant and say bull shut about Nissan. Complain on all forums and write so many bad things about the car .
Americans also abuse cars.
Only few enthusiasts take care of their car properly in that country.
That's why they dispose their cars after the warranty expires .
An American will buy a $50,000 car and frown at a $5,000 repair. And condemn the car saying it's not reliable .
No car is perfect . It must have a minor flaw.
The cool thing is they have good mechanics. Which guarantees quality repairs. That's why their cars are not as bad as ours .


Goto carcomplaints and see the silly complaints they write about cars. Some might complain of replacing battery at 70,000 miles. Saying the car has cheap quality .

Companies in US find ways to bilk their customers while customers find ways to milk them.

Don't you think everything you mentioned above happens for reason?
