I purchased a new 2010 Ford Fusion and have been having issues with one tire losing air for several months now but they had been unable to find the leak until recently. Finally after going to two tire centers on Friday they were able to find that, as I understand it, there is a defect in the tire/rim that caused an indent in the tire at the innter bead that caused a slow seaping leak. I have a statement from the owner of that tire center that in no way would a seal be a permanant fix. I then had to take it into the Ford service center were it was confirmed that the beads were not sealing to the actual rim. A bead seal was done on all four tires but neither the tire or the rim was replaced. I requested a new tire but was told that this was what was being done for this problem and to come back if the problem continues. I have read other complaints about this problem and statments that others have even experienced blow-outs at very low miliage. I have a 16 year old daughter with a learner's permit and am very concerned about her driving this vehicle. She needs driving hours on the highway but this is going to be very difficult to do since I am worried about there being a problem with my tires. This is a vehicle that we had planned on possibly passing down to her, but if there is not a recall on this before then, we may have to purchase new tires and rims just to feel comfortable doing so. I don't think that we should have to pay to replace four tires and rims after purchasing a brand new vehicle, at just approximately 12,000 miles.
