Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that the panel under the rear window split around the outside of the window, which extended to the Ford emblem.

Valve stems on 2 tires leaking without any notice causing tire to go flat. Two times within the last 12 days on two different tires. Upon review of the stem air leaks from the stem when moving/pushing on it to certain locations.

My 2005 Ford Explorer came with metal valve caps on the tires, when I brought it in for service with a low pressure signal on, the dealer told me that the valve caps were frozen onto the stems, and if he tried to take off the caps, they would snap the sensors in the tires, and it would cost approximately $600. To replace all four sensors. I responded that it would cost $600. To put air in the tires because of a design defect? the response was yes. My point, if you did not have the money to correct a mfr's design error, you are riding on under-inflated tires, creating a potentially hazardous situation.

I was removing caps on valve stems to check tire pressure when the valve stem broke off in the cap. It immediately deflated the tire completely! I was lucky that I was not driving. The tire was completely flat and coming off the rim. I had the spare tire put on. When I went to the Ford dealer said that they had alot of vehicles in that the valve stems had broken off. Very dangerous. I am now afraid that the valve stems on the other tires could do the same thing. Because they also have tire sensors in valve stems it is very costly to replace and only a Ford dealer can get the part and recalibrate the computer for the sensors.
