On 1/1/09, 5/24/09, 5/29/09, 7/27/09, 8/15/090, inside panel lit up with "low tire pressure" message and tire was dangerously low within 15 minutes. These various events occurred on major highways with children in the vehicle and in heavy traffic, no safe place to pull over. Cracked tire stem valve each time. This presents a serious hazard to drivers who are alone, on dark highways, etc.

The stock tires provided with the 2008 Ford Escape models have defective valve stems. The cracked rubber can either cause a blow out or slow leak. On my Escape, 3 out of 4 valve stems were defective and showing multiple cracks. This is on a "courtesy recall?". The dealership I had my vehicle serviced at recommended replacement. Since the NHTSA has not proactively recalled these tires, knowing full well there were millions of defective valve stems sent from china, the only way I was informed there was a serious safety issue with my vehicle was by having another mechanical problem. Please officially recall these before people start dying to blowouts.

The tire (front driver side) on my 2008 Ford Escape hybrid (which I purchased in June 2007) keeps losing air pressure and I get a warning light on my dash about every two to three weeks. I recently read about the valve stem recall but I never received a recall notice from Ford. I am getting very concerned about this particular issue as well as the bigger issue of using sub-standard parts in american cars. I contacted my Ford dealer today and they asked me to give them my VIN number. After I gave them my VIN they told me that my vehicle was not on the recall list. I believe I am being snubbed here and that Ford should replace all four valve stems as a precautionary measure.

My sister owned a 2007 fird Escape. There was a tire issue fixed sept. 2008 at mass tire brockton. After they fixed her tire, we experienced so loud, unsteady issue with the tires. We brought it back and there was valve work done. On oct. 08, 2008, my sister died on the highway after her car rolled over attempting to switch lanes. She was alone.

Noticed left rear tire almost flat. Checked tire for punctures and objects and none found. Put soap and water on the valve stem and found it leaking at the base of the valve stem.
