In owners' own words
On august 2, 2008 we had rapid air loss in our left rear tire. I got it to a tire place and the valve was broken. They said they never seen a valve break on a new vehicle. A 2007 Ford Expedition. I was lucky for the air pressure warning system. I was on the freeway. After seeing all the talk about valve problems I am now worried about my other tires. Tires · reported at 20,000 miles
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. Tires · reported at 21,000 miles
