3 valve stems all cracked in the exact same spot. Ford will do nothing about it.
Three of four hankook optimo tires on my 2007 Ford Focus deflated completely over the course of a month. Broken valve stems were the cause in each case. I had the valve stem replaced on the three failed tires as well as the fourth; no use in waiting for that one to fail too.
Noticed low tire, went to fill with air, and valve stem pulled out of tire. Went to dealership, and they sold me a new tire. I explained the situation, with the valve stem, but they made no comment of any problems. I have the old valve stem.
The first incident occurred while parked during shopping hours; daylight. The left, back tire let out a hissing sound that was coming from the tire area. The valve stem was leaking air. The tire was going flat. This was the first incident; 06/09/08; mileage on the Ford Focus 2007 hatchback was 14,143. The second incident occurred on 07/31/08; the right front wheel, passenger side, also was losing air; again it was the valve stem; mileage 14,933; vehicle purchased on 02/16/07. . Read more...
