Tire Valve problems of the 2007 Ford Mustang

Faulty valve stem on 2007 Mustang gt. Had low air pressure monitor come on. Inspected tire and saw that my valve stem was cracked at the base. This is the second one on this car. These are the original tires.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. While driving 15 mph the low tire pressure indicator illuminated on the instrument control panel. He then added air to the tire, but by the end of the day all of the air was released out of the tire. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility. The mechanic replaced a defective valve stem. He then received a recall notice regarding the valve stems , but a technician stated that no repairs could be performed until the valve stems failed. The current mileage was 24,900. The failure mileage was 24,500.

I own a 2007 Mustang gt and have had two flat tires due to valve stem failures. The first broken valve stem occurred on June 13, 2009. I assumed that it was a fluke that the valve stem broke, but today I had the same thing happen again. Luckily both flat tires have happened when I was traveling under 55 mph. This could have been a accident if I was on the interstate driving at a higher rate of speed.

2007 Ford Mustang recall notice about the tire valve stem being recalled due to cracking. Took the vehicle to the dealership, they took about 5 minutes and looked at the valve stems and said they were fine. Few weeks later we got a low tire pressure sensor warning. Went back to the dealership. They said the right rear tire just had low air pressure, they put air in it and charged for their inspection? the next day the light was back on. . . . Went back to dealer, they said the sensor is unreliable and they see nothing wrong so we had them balance and rotate the tires. Oct 4th driving 65 mph down I-20 right rear tire blew out; almost lost control of car, ran out across the grass to get the vehicle stopped and under control. Took the tire to the dealer the next morning; they say is blew because it was low in air??? no low pressure light? they already worked on the same tire 3 times. . . They still refuse. Took tire to a tire store: facts are: tire valve stem is cracked and was on the recall, air leaked out suddenly and the tire exploded! they also mounted weights on the outside of the mags when they balanced the tire, one weight was actually dug down into the rubber, also, possibly causing the air leak. We had all valve stems replaced, all four were cracked and we found out the only way to truly inspect them was to remove the tire off the rim which the dealership never did do. We are out $275 for two tires, valve stem replacements, balancing and the labor for all this that should have been repaired and handled by the dealership for free due to the recall. . . . . . Not to mention that if he had flipped that car and gotten killed what we would be facing. Poorest customer service I have ever seen; dealership should be shutdown by dmv for safety violations and not properly handling a recall notice. (we had to replace two tires because they have 30,000 miles on them and we did not think it would be a good thing just thing to put one new tire on the car!.

My car is a 2007 Ford Mustang gt and since we purchased it in March 2007, we have had 3 separate issues with the valve stems. In the most recent incident, my son was driving the car and experienced a tire blowout while traveling at highway speeds. When we took the car to the dealer we were told that the problem again came from a cracked valve stem. Ford did replace the tire at no charge to us; however I still have concerns about the safety of the vehicle and the remaining valve stems.

I have a 2007 Ford Mustang gt premium convertible. I had taken two of my tires to ntb to have the tires replaced with oem tires. I noticed the valve stems cracked on the old tires, and asked to have them replaced. Upon driving the car the very next day, one of the new tires lost pressure and went flat on the highway. When I went to replace it with my spare, I noticed the valve stems were not replaced. I immediately called ntb, and they are going to replace the now bad tire with a replacement, and change both valves, which were never replaced. After I got home I noticed that the two original tires that were not replaced have cracked valves. I am going to have these replaced also. The original tires only have 12,000 miles on them.

Tire blow out caused by a faulty (leaking) valve stem, when the remaining 3 were checked - 2 were cracked and one was leaking.

I have a 2007 Ford Mustang that I have to constantly keep adding air to the tires. I thought I just ran something over, but I don't see anything and it seems to be a slow leak in all tires. I recently saw the investigation on the valve stems so I wanted to give my input that I think my car could possibly be affected by this. I called my dealer and said the valve stems could be replaced at my expense only at this time.

Valve stem failure in 2007 Mustang. On Aug 3, brought Mustang into sears automotive in ocoee. Upon inspection of failed tire they found four valve steams failed on the car.

I recently had a valve stem blow on a huge bridge in jacksonville florida. My car is a new 2007 Ford Mustang. , with only 6,000 miles. I had to purchase a new tire to drive home. I took the tire back to the dealership and they inspected my tires to find another valve that was cracked and bad. What is being done? how do I get re-imbursed for the tire that I had to purchase.

Valve stems on 2007 Ford Mustang failed.

Cracked valve on new 2007 Ford Mustang. I had two flats in a week. All of the valves were cracked. I replaced them all.

I read an article in the September 2008 consumers reports magazine which described a recall for manufacturer : tech International, NHTSA campaign id number : 08t018000 , for defective tire valves. I had a problem with a defective tire valve recently on my 2007 Ford Mustang, and now wonder if Ford isn't using this same manufacturer of tire valves in their new cars. More details of my incident follow. . . 1) I was driving at approx. 55 mph on two lane road on a hot (90+) summer day (6/8/08). The low pressure warning light came on, and I pulled over ASAP to investigate. 2) the driver side rear tire was low. I pumped air into the tire, and noticed the valve stem was cracked at the base where it installs in the alloy rim. It would not hold pressure, so I installed the spare, and drove to a nearby sears to repair the valve stem. 3) I paid $26 for a "flat repair" - basically they replaced the tire valve. I do not have the old part. The good news is the tire pressure sensor technology saved me from having a high speed flat. I expected to find a nail in my tire, not a faulty valve stem. I have not contacted my local Ford dealer at this time. I purchased the car new from Ford in April 2007. It is a 2007 Ford Mustang v6, 4. 0l sohc, with approx. 10k miles. The tires are pirelli pzero nero p235/ mounted on alloy wheels.

In early 2007, I experienced the first loss of a tire under mysterious circumstances. I was traveling along at about 60 mph when I experienced sudden loss of pressure in a tire. This was not preceded by any "audible chime". Perhaps I could not hear same because of traffic noise. Over the next 3 months I went through a similar experience on 2 other tires. I went to the internet and found that other people with similar cars had apparent valve stem failure. By this time I had noticed a valve stem with a crack in it. Went to my Ford dealer and placed a warranty claim with Ford. Was promptly turned down and treated badly by the dealer service mgr. , also. I then filed a better business bureau claim and suddenly Ford and the dealer wanted to settle. The settlement was in a satisfactory amount. Whenever a vehicle suffers a sudden tire failure, some risk to the occupants is likely to follow. Apparently no one has been killed in relation to this problem, thankfully. My Mustang was built in February, 2007.

I currently own a 2007 Ford Mustang with 13,500 miles on it. Less than a year after I bought the car I had only 5,000 miles on it and my tire pressure monitor system went of on a mild September day. I pulled over at a gas station less than a block from when the sensor light came on and found the left rear tire valve stem was cracked at the base where it seats in the rim. I filled the tire and made it another block to a tire repair store, where they replaced actually two valve stems that were bad. I immediately went to my local Ford dealership where I bought the car and complained. I was told to call the tire manufacturer as if I was some dumb woman. As a woman working in a mans field as a mechanic I know that tires do not come with valve stems tires come as tire and I argued that with the dealership. They finally agreed to look at the car, and found that the tire going flat ruined the tire pressure monitoring system band and damaged the sidewall of the tire. They agreed to replace the tire pressure monitor band and ordered a replacement tire for me. Just a week ago with the 13,000 miles on the car I had the same problem again with the tire pressure monitor system going off and I immediately checked the valve stems and found another valve stem that was cracked apart. I went back to my dealership and they question why it was the left rear tire again as I replied that I had my tires rotated and then they asked if I had "curbed" the car or tires. I laughed and commented on the lack of scuff marks on the tires. Once again they relented and replaced the faulty valve stem at no charge. I am beginning to feel unsafe in my own vehicle and recall the issues that Ford had previously with tires and accidents. I do live in the midwest where there is a regular occurrence of snow and ice and I would imagine getting a flat going 55 on a local highway in the winter would be devastating.
