Went to get brakes replaced and found out the lug nuts were jammed on and could not be removed, took it to the deal to find out they were swollen on and no one would have been able to remove them but them! They stated they see it all the time if I had a flat no one would have gotten them off it would have had to towed! To me this is a safety hazard that could leave me stranded. They said this was comment I called ford they would not acknowledge it

The lug nuts have swelled on all of the wheels of my Ford Edge. The lug nut wrench that Ford included with the vehicle is now unusable because it will not fit the lug nuts. This becomes a safety issue because my wife and I can no longer change a flat tire on her vehicle. We sometimes drive in areas with little or no lighting.…

The lug nuts have swelled on all of the wheels of my Ford Edge. The lug nut wrench that Ford included with the vehicle is now unusable because it will not fit the lug nuts. This becomes a safety issue because my wife and I can no longer change a flat tire on her vehicle. We sometimes drive in areas with little or no lighting. It is also a financial issue because I will have to hire a tow truck company to replace the flat tire and then purchase new lug nuts to make the vehicle safe. I understand this is a wide spread problem with Ford vehicles. I can’t believe the government has not made Ford do a recall on these lug nuts. I guess once again big industry gets preferential treatment over the safety of the citizens.

The Edge was taken in for routine service at 24,920 miles. I was informed that brake inspection and tire rotation could not be performed unless I purchased new lug nuts at an additional cost of $201. This was due to "SWOLLEN" LUG NUTS which apparently is not uncommon and is still being ignored by Ford.

The lug nuts are swollen up and the lug wrench that came with the vehicle. Had the tires rotated at a Firestone Service center and the service Tech said he couldn't get the 22mm socket to fit. I search this problem and found there is a problem with the two piece lug nuts swelling up.

It was advised to me, it would cost me $519.00 plus tax to replace the lug nuts. I advised the service man not to perform the task, as I was not getting billed that exorbitant charge for lug nuts that are not very old. There is obviously something terribly wrong with the way these lug nuts are designed and manufactured. I have never experienced this type of issue in the past on any of my Ford vehicles. FORD NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE AND RECALL THE PRODUCT.

A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the start/stop accumulator, free of charge. The recall began September 23, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S49.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Edge vehicles. The driver-side seat belt pretensioner anchor may have been improperly crimped, possibly resulting in the seat belt webbing detaching from the anchor in the event of a crash.
