I HAD 3-FLAT TIRES WITHIN 2-MONTHS AND AFTER CAREFULLY EXAMINING THE TIRES MYSELF, I FOUND OUT THE VALVE STEMS ARE CRACKING. THE DEALER ACTUALLY ADMITTED THEY HAVE "SEEN A FEW OF THESE", AND AFTER I SHOWED THEM MINE THEY ADMITTED THEY WERE CRACKED. I HAD TO SPEND 5-HOURS ARGUING WITH THEM BEFORE THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE FAULTY VALVE STEMS FOR FREE. IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE HAD 3-FLAT TIRES. I JUST HAD ONE ON NOV. 11TH, AND THE REASON WAS A CRACKED VALVE STEM ALLOWING AIR TO RELEASE FROM THE TIRE. FORTUNATELY I NOTICED THIS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

2007 F150 4X4 SUPERCREW: AFTER 12000 MILES FRONT BRAKE ROTOR WEAR WAS NOTED AS ABNORMAL BY TECHNICIAN. DEEP GROVES HAVE CONTINUED TO FORM IN BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. VEHICLE MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY AT 26,000 AND GROVES IN BOTH FRONT ROTORS CONTINUE TO GET DEEPER. TECHNICIANS AT DEALERSHIP CONTINUE TO SAY, QUOTE, "THE BRAKE PADS ARE REALLY HARD ON THE ROTORS BUT THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS TURN THE ROTORS, BUT IT WILL JUST GET WORSE UNLESS I REPLACE THE PADS. EVERY 2007 F150 OWNER I HAVE TALKED WITH AND LOOKED AT THEIR ROTORS HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNWILLING TO CORRECT. *TR

VALVE STEM FAILURE. THERE WERE ACTUALLY 2 FAILURES IN TWO WEEKS, THE FIRST ONE BEING ON OCT. 20TH, 2008. CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THE TIRE WAS FLAT. THERE WAS NO SENSOR LIGHT ON PREVIOUS TO THE FLAT TIRE. ON INSPECTION AT THE TIRE DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY VALVE STEM, WHICH WAS THEN REPLACED AND THAT TIRE WAS FINE. SECOND INCIDENT ON DATE RECORDED BELOW I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE TIRE WENT TOTALLY FLAT AND THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. BY THE TIME I COULD PULL OVER ONTO A SIDE ROAD THE TIRE WAS DESTROYED AND THE VALVE STEM WAS MISSING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY FOUND ANOTHER VALVE STEM READY TO FAIL. *TR

I JUST WANT TO REPORT THAT ON MY 2007 FORD F-150 PICKUP I HAVE HAD THREE VALVE STEMS BREAK CAUSING FLAT TIRES. I AM 56 YEARS OLD AND DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER HAD A VALVE STEM BREAK LIKE THIS, MUCH LESS 3. WHEN I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM IT LOOKED AS IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE OF FAULTY CHINESE MADE VALVES, I JUST THOUGHT I NEEDED TO REPORT IT, I FELT THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

ON OCTOBER 18, 2008, AND WHILE DRIVING FROM COLLINSVILLE, OKLAHOMA TO WICHIA, KANSAS TO ATTEND A WEDDING, THE "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" WARNING BECAME LIT (AND WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH AN AUDIBLE ALARM). UPON ARRIVING AT THE DESTINATION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS EXTREMELY LOW (APPROXIMATELY 10 PSI). I WENT TO THE NEAREST CONVENIENCE STORE AND ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TIRE (COSTING ME 75 CENTS). I NOTED THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS LEAKING AIR AS I FILLED THE TIRE. SINCE I HAD A LONG RETURN TRIP HOME, AND IT WAS LATE IN THE DAY, I DROVE NEXT DOOR TO FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE AT 2318 N. MAIZE RD, WICHITA KS, PH: 316-773-2900, AT 4:48 PM TO HAVE THE VALVE STEM REPLACED. THEY SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED THE VALVE STEM (TOTAL COST OF $26.55) AND I WAS BACK ON THE ROAD AN HOUR LATER AT 5:49 PM. *TR

THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT DO A REPAIR AND CHARGE ME THAT IT WASN'T A RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING WEARING ON MY TIRES DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

BLOWOUT OF TIRE WITH 20,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND TIRE. STARTED RESEARCHING WHY A PERFECTLY GOOD TIRE WOULD BLOW OUT AND FOUND AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION CONCERNING FAULTY VALVE STEMS. I HAD ALL MY VALVE STEMS CHECKED WHEN GETTING THE NEW TIRE INSTALLED AND FOUND A FAULTY VALVE STEM ON ANOTHER TIRE. I SPOKE WITH 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT FORD WHO ALL SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY FAULTY VALVE STEMS. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE AND VALVE STEMS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2007 FORD 150 HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS MOVING IT IN THE DRIVE WAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED AND THE MORE I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE THE FASTER IT WENT. VERY SCARY! I THINK WHAT IS MORE SCARY IS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS COMPLAINED. I AM TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THIS WEEK BUT THE MORE I READ THE MORE I AM CONVINCED THEY WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING. *TR

PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE FRONT TIRES LOCKED, LEAVING SKID MARKS ON THE CONCRETE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT WALL OF THE GARAGE, BREAKING THE WALL, BEFORE STOPPING.

I HAVE A FORD F-150 4X4 SUPER CREW THAT IS MAKING A ROARING/GRINDING SOUND FROM THE FRONT END. IT ONLY DOES THIS OCCASIONALLY. PRIOR TO STOPPING THE SOUND WILL STOP AND THE TRANSFER CASE WILL MAKE AN ENGAGING SOUND AS THOUGH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE PROBLEM REOCCUR. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH AN '04 F-150 4X4 AND HIS IS DOING THE SAME THING. *TR
