2007 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

TIRES IN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION REGULARLY LOSE AIR. LOCAL TIRE SHOP DIDN'T LOCATE LEAK IN TIRE. TIRES WEARING UNEVENLY OVER TIME AND NOW MUST REPLACE ALL FOUR AFTER 30K MILES. UPON REMOVING TIRE AND TIRE SHOP INSPECTING, THEY NOTICED CRACKS IN VALVE STEMS. BOUGHT FOUR NEW TIRES. *TR

AIR VALVE STEMS ARE BREAKING ON ALL 4 TIRES, I KEEP LOSING AIR PRESSURE AND FORD SAYS THEY WONT COMPENSATE---I ONLY HAVE 7,000 MI. *TR

HEARD A HISSING NOISE WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR THIS MORNING. NOTICED A VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED ON BACK TIRE (DRIVERS SIDE). WENT DIRECTLY TO TIRE COMPANY.. HAD TO STOP NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE WAY TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE BECAUSE THE CRACK WAS GETTING BIGGER. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE TIRE COMPANY, THE VALVE SNAPPED AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE TIRE COMPANY EXAMINED MY VEHICLE AND STATED THAT 2 OTHER VALVES WERE CRACKED. I HAD TO REPLACE 3 VALVE STEMS TODAY. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION ON HIGHWAY WHEN LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. EXITED HGWY @ NEXT EXIT & CHECKED ALL TIRES & ADDED AIR TO LEFT FRONT TIRE WHICH WAS LOW & PROCEEDED ON TO AIRPORT APPROX. 10-15 MINS AWAY. AFTER DRIVING APPROX. 10 MINS AFTER STOPPING I WAS FIGHTING TRUCK PULLING LEFT ON INTERSTATE. WHEN I ARRIVED CURBSIDE AT THE AIRPORT, I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY FLAT & WAS SEPARATING READY TO HAVE A BLOW OUT. THE TIRE WAS CHANGED OUT FOR THE SPARE & UPON ARRIVING BACK HOME, MY HUSBAND & I INSPECTED THE TIRE FOR ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IN TREAD ONLY TO FIND NONE & THEN TOLD MY HUSBAND OF THE NEWS STORY ABOUT FAULTY VALVE STEMS BUT NO RECALL ISSUED. SO WITH THE BAD TIRE FULL OF AIR LAYING IN DRIVEWAY HE TOUCHED THE VALVE & THE AIR STARTED RUSHING OUT. WE HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE VALVE STEM THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING. WE DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OF THE REMAINING TIRES ARE OK OR NOT AS THE TRUCK IS TO BE TAKEN TO FORD TOMORROW. WE DO NOT FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO BUY ANY TIRES AS I DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO DO & THE STEM FAILED CAUSING ME TO RUIN A GOOD TIRE AND WILL HAVE TO HAVE NOT 1 BUT 2 NEW TIRES. PLEASE HELP US CONSUMERS FIGHT FOR ALL THE MONEY WE SPEND TRYING TO BUY AMERICAN & SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY WITH HARD EARNED MONEY. SOMEONE COULD DIE AS A RESULT OF THEIR PIG HEADEDNESS. *TR

ON 7-21-08 MY FRONT PASS. TIRE WENT FLAT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VALVE STEM WAS LEAKING. FORD REPLACED THE TIRE UNDER MY WARRANTY.

ON 10-06-08 MY REAR PASS. TIRE WAS LOW AND THE CAUSE WAS AGAIN A LEAKING VALVE STEM.
