Conclusion
As previously stated, most of the Fusion generations we discussed have five lug nuts. When you mount the wheel to the car once more, these must be fastened precisely. Additionally, verifying that the lug nuts are still in place after 30 miles (48 kilometers) is critical.
Please check that they are all in place and still tightly secured. If not, tighten them once more and check again. The wheel will need to be changed if this continues.
