What owners wrote

Got a certified preowned 2016 AWD ford escape with original manufacturer jack and lug wrench. Got a flat on driving on a well maintained gravel road going 20 MPH. There was less then 2000 miles on the new kelly as 235/55 r17 wheels (no road hazard! Just gravel). Tmps system worked, pulled over right away and watched the tire deflate in front of my eyes! Got jack and donut out. Lug wrench does not fit lug nuts. Couldn't change the tire w/o assistance. This has been reported on 2014 vehicles so ford is aware.

Reported at 45,247 miles, February 2017

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. All 20 lug nuts were corroding from road salt and could not be reused or be removed if placed on the rim again. The manufacturer provided a case number and promised a call back. The contact had not yet received a resolution. The failure mileage was 50,962. Consumer was told it could happen again from the dealer.

Reported at 50,962 miles, April 2019
