So this morning, after dropping off the boys for practice, I picked up a big ass nail in the back tire of my Fusion. It was a good leak because I drove about a mile and my tire pressure light came on, luckily I was across the street from the local Mtn View Tire, so drove over for them to fix it.
Well.....it isn't repairable as the nail is too big........ no big deal.....got the road hazard warranty so tell them to throw spare on and I will handle next week.
He then goes on to give me a whole song and dance about how Fusion lug nuts are bad and it will take him 20 mins to get them off and then they won't go back on......la la la..... so basically he tells me I need to buy a lug nut set and it would be around $50.......WTF?!!
I proceed to tell him that I religiously rotate my tires and my tire guy has NEVER had an issue or even mentioned this to me. Told him, it sounded like a them problem. Well after 10 minutes of back and forth telling him I am not buying lugnuts and just put my spare on, they finally agree.
This car is a 2017 with 52k milea. Take a look at the other lugs and look what they did to my lugs getting them off and on!!
So Tire guys, is this an actual issue with Fusion lugs or are they just idiots and use the wrong tools??
