Tire Valve Problems of Ford Expedition

I purchased a new set of pirelli tires for my 2010 Ford Expedition in Feb. 2015 & they cost me $1,800. 00. I thought I was paying for a a better set of tires. In Aug. ,6 mth. Later, my family went on a trip to nc in the Expedition & on our way home my front passenger tire completely came apart from the inside out on the interstate. My tire sensor light had come on maybe 10 minutes at most prior to the tire exploding, we should've had time to make it to a gas station. I brought my car to sarasota Ford the next day & was told I should have immediately put a spare on my car & brought the tire in because most likely the valve stem was leaking & they would've covered the tire. Jimmy said that I ruined the tire because of driving on it with low tire pressure. I paid the $225. Because I still had a spare tire on my car & I wasn't comfortable with it & I wasn't getting anywhere trying to tell him that I didn't believe you can be given a 10 min. Warning to get your tire off the road before it just disintegrates. I'm not sure if it would've gone differently if I'd been a guy! I've been dealing with sarasota Ford a long time & they have all of my service log records. I get my oil changed every 3,000 mi , my tires rotated every other oil change & the records will show that I take care of any needs that my car has, I don't ignore them as he would imply. I'm extremely disappointed in sarasota Ford for being so quick to blame me for this tire failure & I'm obviously not happy with perelli tire either. I am very thankful we were just very inconvenienced & no one was hurt. Luckily there are many other choices for tires & tire companies for the rest of our vehicles.

My 2007 Ford Expedition experienced an immediate loss of tire pressure on one tire while on the freeway on 27-July 2009 that resulted in the tire becoming immediately deflated and ruined. Elder Ford (troy, michigan) informed me of a faulty tire valve issue that Ford motor company is aware of, but has not issued a recall. The dealer found all valves on my 2007 Expedition were cracked and replaced all valves but the spare tire, which they stated they were not allowed to check or replace. A conversation with their customer service department on 31-July leads me to believe Ford motor company has a very large and costly safety problem they do not want to deal with due to the economic times. Remember the firestone/explorer fiasco?.

My tire valve failed on my 2007 Ford Expedition. Two days after the dealer did the "visual inspection" on the faulty valve stems that have been know to have problems but have not yet been recalled by Ford. This is the second tire that has failed on this vehicle! both happened at freeway speeds nearly causing an accident due to tires running flat. Ford needs to do more than just inspecting these faulty valve stems. Their "visual inspection" will not prevent potentially fatal accidents.

The rubber valve stems on the tires cracked resulting in loss of tire pressure.

Nhtsa said that there is not a safty concern that the valve stems on certin Ford cars are splitting. They have closed the investigation April 9, 2009. That's great, except that on April 11, 2009 one of our valve stems blow out while we were driving on a mountain highway. There was no warning and the tire shredded. 2 18 wheelers had to do all kinds of moves to avoid hitting us. The one nearly did. The tire was completely shredded and we could hardly get far enough off the highway to put on the spare. With three small kids in the car, it was very scary. The on April 25th, 2009, it happened to the other front tire while we were on a trip. When inspecting the two back valves, they were barley holding on. We were in the middle of nowhere and nothing was opened for help.

I have experience 3 valve stem failures on continental contitrac tr tires; model p265/70r17 113s on a 2007 Ford Expedition . The valve stems apparently are the chinese model tr-414 stems that have been discussed in several automotive newspaper columns. Today (6/9/09) I received a letter from Ford motor company notifying vehicle owners about this problem. The Ford representative said since this is not a recall, there is no provision for monetary reimbursement to vehicle owners who have had the valve stems replaced. I believe this is a safety issue and NHTSA should consider a mandated recall for all tires using these poorly mgf. Valve stems. My stem leakage problems have occurred on April 9, April 23 and June 9, 2009. I have rotated my tires every 3000 miles and they have approx. 21620 miles wear. Fortunately I have a tire pressure monitoring system that alerted me to the problems before the tires went completely flat or before I was stranded on the highway.

My tire failed on my 2007 Ford Expedition el mileage 18000, tires are the original/factory installed pirelli scorpion p255/70r18. The tire went flat at freeway speed and the sidewall is now damaged beyond repair. Under further investigation I find that the tire does not have any puncture and it is a cracked valve stem that is causing the leak. Even with the sidewall damage the tire takes air and the only leak is coming from the leaking valve steam. The Ford dealer will be replacing the tire at my cost. I feel this is a manufacturer issue and know there is a recall on these and Ford should be replacing the tire for free and checking all other valves on the vehicle. I spoke with clay at tech International and he explained that Ford has not recalled these tires but tech International has recalled "after market" tire replacements. Ford needs to take immediate action on this to prevent any future failures that could lead to serious accidents. Luckily my failure did not cause an accident because it was a rear tire and I was able to pull over the vehicle, preventing an accident but I did begin to loose control.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Expedition. While driving approximately 45 mph, the rear passenger side tire suddenly lost tire pressure. Several weeks later, the contact experienced an identical failure with the front driver's side tire. A local technician identified the valve stem as being the cause of the failure and they made the replacement. Afterwards, the failure recurred. She took the vehicle to another dealer and they stated that the new set of valve stems were corroded and defective. She currently has possession of the valve stems. The valve stem information was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 33,000.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2007 Ford Expedition valve stem on car had a leak. Tire is ruined as while she was driving the air leaked out of the tire causing it to go low and the sidewall being damaged.

On September 4, 2008, I experienced a low tire pressure sensor warning on my 2007 Ford Expedition (vehicle was purchased new;all tires on the vehicle were the original factory installed tires. ) I checked all tires and did not see an immediate loss of tire pressure and since I was in a rural area at the time I felt that it was in my best interest to get to a more populated area where I could have the tires checked. The tire quickly lost all air pressure and went flat causing me to take an evasive move to get off the road. The tire was changed and I took the failed tire into future Ford of roseville where I purchased my vehicle. The tire had to be replaced. There was no evidence of a puncture or reason for the tire to fail. No compensation from the dealer was offered. On October 16, 2008, the low tire sensor light again activated. After checking all tires I found that one of the tire values was split and leaking (hissing). I was able to take the vehicle to a local tire company to have it repaired. Upon inspection of the other tire values we found that all the values (except for the new tire that had been installed) were all split and would eventually start to leak. I had all the values replaced on all the tires. At the time the tire company, les schwab, informed me that there have been some reported issues with leaking tire valves on some Ford vehicles. I did some research and found that consumer reports is recommending that all 2007 Ford vehicle tire valves be inspected and replaced if found to be cracked. On 10/17/08, I reported this to future Ford of roseville and they were unaware of any type of tire valve failures. Seems that car dealers should be checking for this problem on dill valves. Les schwab was able to recover 2 of the cracked valves from my Expedition. All are tr414 valves which appear to be under investigation for failure and possible safety issues. My cost for this problem is now $250. 00.

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 10-02-08 my rear drivers side tire went flat due to the valve stem leaking, only the valve stem had to replaced, but Ford would not fix it under my warranty, the repair cost was $21. 00. On 10-06-08 my rear pass. Tire was low and the cause was again a leaking valve stem. Since Ford stated that this was not under my warranty I went to allen tire and had all four valve stems replaced at a cost of $101. 65.

Have a 2007 Ford Expedition and had to replace one tire because of flat on the highway that ruined the tire. I've had two more flats that resulted in tire damage and have to replace them when I get the money. We could not find the problem of the first tire, until a friend of mine told me about Ford having problems with valve stems. Called Ford and dealerships where I bought vehicle and they do not want to help me at all . Tires have less than 10,000 miles on them. Im going to be out over 600. 00 dollars for there mistake. Im going ahead and replacing the other tire and stem for me and my family safety. Please help with this problem.

I have a 2007 Ford Expedition that has had four (4) valve stems go bad. One caused the air to deflate so quickly the tire was ruined. When talking to Ford dealers, one that replaced the tire and one that sold the Expedition, both said it was bad luck and nothing could be done. Had it not been for the tire sensor system, I would have ruined the rim as well as the tire. The car did not vibrate or pull to the side or any other problems, it kept running as if nothing was wrong until the sensor kicked in and by then it was too late, the rim cut into the sidewall of the tire. The repair center confirmed it was a bad valve. Sadly, when they replaced the tire, they used the same type of stem and it leaked as well. I had to go to third parties to replace the other valve stems that were defective. Calling my local dealer again about it, they still maintain nothing can be done about this.

2007 Ford Expedition, from August 2008 to October 2008, on four different occasions each a different tire, low tire pressure indicator came on. Spare tire was put on, flat tire taken to Ford dealer, valve stem replaced.

On August 2, 2008 we had rapid air loss in our left rear tire. I got it to a tire place and the valve was broken. They said they never seen a valve break on a new vehicle. A 2007 Ford Expedition. I was lucky for the air pressure warning system. I was on the freeway. After seeing all the talk about valve problems I am now worried about my other tires.

Driving my wife noticed the tire pressure light come on. Once she was able to get over she noticed that air was leaking from the tire valve. Upon further inspection, we noticed that all the valves were cracked and defective.

On Sunday, June 1st 2008, I was traveling southbound on the highway 99 in my wife's 1998 Ford Expedition from fruitridge rd to florin rd. As I exited onto florin rd going westbound, I heard what sounded like plastic caught on the side. I pulled into the 76 gas station on florin road and east parkway to asses the damage. The valve stem on my nearly new goodyear eagle gt ii 285/50-20 tire had torn. The horror is that I decided to take my wife's truck and leave my 2002 Ford excursion at home that morning because it had my boat attached and I didn't want to move it. This incident could have resulted in extreme harm done to my wife and children. It cost me time and money to correct this problem.

While driving, rear driver side tire blewout, the consumer also had problems keeping air in tires, the dealer replaced the valve stems but that hasn't solved the problem, the vehicle does not ride well with the tires and vehicle has had a front wheel alignment already (firestone wilderness atx p255/70r16).
