Wheel problem

Wheel studs are twisting off and stretching when putting the lug nuts back on at the recommended torque of 98 lbs. Studs appear soft. I see Ford had issues on the 2010-2011 Fusion and milans. Appears to be same issue. Many studs can only be torqued to 80 lbs. Service provided by theisens service center in dyersville IA. That very week theisens had a 2007 Ford Fusion in with the very same issue. Hmmm sounds like a very valid concern.
