2007 Ford Expedition Tires

TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE WITH CUPPING CAUSING VIBRATIONS TIRES LOOK SWOLLEN AND UNEVEN THREADING. WE TOOK THE CAR TO CHECK SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE TIRES. WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND BECAUSE OF THE TIRES BEING UNSAFE I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION ON HIGHWAY WHEN LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. EXITED HGWY @ NEXT EXIT & CHECKED ALL TIRES & ADDED AIR TO LEFT FRONT TIRE WHICH WAS LOW & PROCEEDED ON TO AIRPORT APPROX. 10-15 MINS AWAY. AFTER DRIVING APPROX. 10 MINS AFTER STOPPING I WAS FIGHTING TRUCK PULLING LEFT ON INTERSTATE. WHEN I ARRIVED CURBSIDE AT THE AIRPORT, I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY FLAT & WAS SEPARATING READY TO HAVE A BLOW OUT. THE TIRE WAS CHANGED OUT FOR THE SPARE & UPON ARRIVING BACK HOME, MY HUSBAND & I INSPECTED THE TIRE FOR ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IN TREAD ONLY TO FIND NONE & THEN TOLD MY HUSBAND OF THE NEWS STORY ABOUT FAULTY VALVE STEMS BUT NO RECALL ISSUED. SO WITH THE BAD TIRE FULL OF AIR LAYING IN DRIVEWAY HE TOUCHED THE VALVE & THE AIR STARTED RUSHING OUT. WE HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE VALVE STEM THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING. WE DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OF THE REMAINING TIRES ARE OK OR NOT AS THE TRUCK IS TO BE TAKEN TO FORD TOMORROW. WE DO NOT FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO BUY ANY TIRES AS I DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO DO & THE STEM FAILED CAUSING ME TO RUIN A GOOD TIRE AND WILL HAVE TO HAVE NOT 1 BUT 2 NEW TIRES. PLEASE HELP US CONSUMERS FIGHT FOR ALL THE MONEY WE SPEND TRYING TO BUY AMERICAN & SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY WITH HARD EARNED MONEY. SOMEONE COULD DIE AS A RESULT OF THEIR PIG HEADEDNESS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION. THE VEHICLE HAS PIRELLI SCORPION, SIZE 255/70R18 TIRES (NA). WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AT 6,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN IMPACT FRACTURE AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT 5 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AT 11,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ONCE AGAIN DUE TO AN IMPACT FRACTURE. CURRENTLY, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATES. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN IMPACT FRACTURE FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE EACH OF THE TIRES AT HER OWN EXPENSE. THE FIRST TWO TIRES ARE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

DRIVING MY WIFE NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COME ON. ONCE SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OVER SHE NOTICED THAT AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THE TIRE VALVE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, WE NOTICED THAT ALL THE VALVES WERE CRACKED AND DEFECTIVE. *TR
