I had to pound the wrench on with a rubber mallet, and knock it off after loosening the nut. If i was on a freeway…

Lug nuts are unable to be removed with lug nut wrench. Ford dealer says the lug nuts are defective and need to be replaced due to 'swelling'. Ford corporate says these are wear and tear item and will not replace. This is a critical safety item as the tires are unable to be removed or changed to a spare tire after a flat tire occurs.
