Description of the problem | My tire got a razor blade in it while i was driving. I was unable to switch to my spare after parking in my parking structure because the standard lug wrench included did not fit over the lug nuts. The lug nuts were too big for the lug wrench provided by ford. I had to drive with a flat tire because i was unable to change it to a spare. Thankfully i was able to get to a safe place, but i am concerned for the welfare of the people who get a flat tire on a highway or an unsafe area. |
