general problems of the 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis

Reference NHTSA action number pe 08060. On 7 April, 2011 I had failure of two tire valves and destruction of ome tire. Both valves leaking air at point of insertion, ie cracked stems. Visited local Ford dealer, carbone Ford-Lincoln on 11 April 2011. Was told no recall would fix for a price. Told him of NHTSA report and that it was a manufacturing defect and Ford should be respnsibe and was ttolg I was being unfair. In my request. Got nowhere with forg , they did not even want to inspect problem, just pay or leave. On 12 April 2011, icontacted Ford motors by phone and spoke with denise. Denise was surprised to hear of such a problem (???) told me the service manager should not have been rude to me and informed me there were no recalls on my vehicle. I told her that the problem was present in vehicles, Mercury Grand Marquis built between December 2006 and March 2007 and that my car was built in March 2007. She said it didnt apply to mine and that I can return to the Ford dealer and have it repaired for a price and would get a 12 month warranty with the paid repair. I remedied the situation by purchasing a new set of four tires instead of spending $200 0n one tire I dont like to match th oe michelin lx. I live in snow country and the lx do not go in snow at all.

While traveling on vacation tires deflated to 10 psi and overheated.

I purchased a new Mercury 2007 Grand Marquis LS. I have michelin lx4 energy tires. I had a blow out on front left tire at 4700 miles, the side wall came apart. I had a second blow out on front right tire at 5840 miles again side wall came apart. I had third blow out at 6000 miles on left rear same side wall damage, at this time I replaced right rear tire because I was traveling out of my area. I tried to get dealer to replace tires under warranty but they refused and said it was a michelin problem. I replaced tires with michelins which I am sorry I did this.
