While my truck's brakes were being repaired, the mechanic discovered that the lug nuts on all of the wheels had swollen to a point that i would not have been able to remove them if i had to change a tire. The service consultant told me this is a common problem with this model of ford f150 because the original design is flawed, and the nuts have been redesigned. I had to pay for the new set of lug nuts. I believe…

Furthermore, the ford technician advised not buying lug nuts from ford as they will eventually fail again. Ford customer service will not take any action to assist in the manufacturing defect. This is a safety…

When we had our tires rotated all 24 lug nuts had to be replaced because they were overly tight they were chrome covered lug nuts and during removal they were damaged. This is a common issue with the newer trucks. They expand and contract which make them impossible to remove without damaging. They cost 7.59 each and all 24 had to be replaced. Each time we have our tires rotated we will have to replace the lug nuts.…

My tire spec and pressure label is incorrect, cold psi is shown at 55 psi front and 60 psi rear and the tpms shows low pressure if under 55 and 60. All local ford service advisers say it should be 35psi. I have been complaining of vibration issues since i bought the truck and feel this has put myself and my family at risk not to mention the premature wear on my tires and suspension components.

My trucks tpms is faulty and not working as required. I have had the ford dealership in frisco, tx look at it several times and they have not provided a repair. The system does not activate or "display" a trouble light until the pressure in a tire goes below 18psi. That is almost flat on a 1/2 ton pickup truck going down the road at 65mph. They tried removing the wheels and replacing them with another 2014 model…

Within 1-2 seconds, my steering locked up, and the tires began to screech. I was unable to control my steering and the brakes did not seem to respond to the amount of pressure i was putting on the break pedal. While i did…
