general problems of the 2004 Ford Expedition

The tire tread is starting to detach from the tire's carcass in a 6 inch section of the tire. The other three tires are showing signs of detatchment, like cracking at the edges of the tires. Updated 09/29/10.

My Ford Expedition has 32k miles on it the tires have approximately 3/8" or more than half of their tread life left. The passengers side rear has a large crack about 1" from the rim. The remaining tires are all dry rotten near the tread. I feel these tires are unsafe and want to replace them immediately.

1. We were driving to go on vacation on I-95 in georgia when the car became out of control we spun and hit a guard rail before we came to a stop. The car had to be towed. There was over 6500. 00 in damage to my vehicle. The insurance paid for 3 tires but not the one that caused the accident.

We were driving with continental tires (p265/70r17113s) on an arizona highway when our rear right tire separated. Our vehicle immediately veered to the left and went up a guardrail with a 30' drop below. Our vehicle (Ford Expedition) flipped 360 degrees, landing on its passenger side. The vehicle was well maintained. The tires had sufficient tread. The authorities on site took pictures of the tread separation and recommended reporting this as the tire appeared to be defective.

All four of the tires in my Ford Expedition lose 4 pounds of air every week. There is some kind of defect any the dealership isn't fixing the vehicle. I was told by Ford that a engineer looked at me vehicle on the 7th visit and this never occurred. I have been lied to by Ford and my vehicle still has not been fixed even though it is under warranty. The issue is that they know there is a defect that can't duplicate it so they keep adding air and let me leave the dealership only to return a few days later. Who will stand up for the consumer and make them repair the vehicle?.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Expedition. The safety defect is the tire sensor. The contact states that the faulty sensor light is coming on. The service department turned the light off. The tire sensor light still comes back on while driving on the highway. This makes the third time the service light which says sensor tire keeps coming on . No crashes were involved . This makes 3 times that the sensor light has been turned off.

In may 2004 I purchased a 2004 Ford Expedition XLT 4x4 from crossroads Ford in cary nc. The vehicle odometer reading was 10 miles. The day after the purchase I returned the vehicle and three of the original continental tires were replaced due to excessive road force. N August 2004 I brought the Expedition back to x-rds Ford for service. A fourth continental tire was replaced due to excessive road force. I took the Expedition to perry bros. In smithfield nc for service at 11000 miles in November 2004. Perry bros. Told me that two of the continental tires were worn out. I took the Expedition back to x-rds Ford as soon as possible and they found that all four of the second set of continental tires showed excessive and unusual tread wear. Crossroads Ford offered me a third set of continental tires which I declined. I was charged $273 to have a set of michelin tires put on. I believe that there is some defect in either the continental tire or Ford Expedition or incompatibility arising therein that is causing this vehicle/tire combination to be dangerous. I understand that people were killed and injured by this same problem about four years ago. I feel that my family and I were placed in jeopardy by Ford and its agent, crossroads Ford.
