Tire valve cracking
On october 14, 2008, odi opened pe08-060 to investigate allegations of cracked and leaking snap-in tire valves in model year (my) 2007 vehicles manufactured by ford motor company.the valves were supplied to ford by topseal auto-parts, a subsidiary of the shanghai baolong automotive corporation in china.valves made by topseal for aftermarket sale were the subject of two recent safety recalls by tech international (08t-018) and dill air controls (08t-028), the latter of which was investigated by odi in pe08-036 and ea08-022.the defect conditions addressed by the aftermarket tire valve recalls both involved inadequate resistance to ozone cracking due to issues with the supply of anti-ozonant chemicals to topseal for a period from july to mid-november 2006.the aftermarket valves were compounded with a blend of epdm and natural rubber, using a relatively low percentage of epdm (epdm provides inherent resistance to ozone cracking).hence, the need for anti-ozonant chemicals and the problems with cracking when those chemicals were missing or out of specification in some lots of valves.both recall campaigns involved inspection programs to identify and replace valves with visible surface cracking.although the topseal valves supplied to ford also appear to have been affected by the anti-ozonant supply issues in mid to late-2006, ford indicated that its valves were made at a different topseal production line and were compounded with a higher percentage of epdm rubber to meet more stringent specifications from ford.odi's analysis of complaint and warranty data provided by ford showed that problems with cracked tire valves were significantly higher for my 2007 vehicles produced from december 2006 through march 2007.ford responded by implementing changes in its material specifications for snap-in rubber tire valves and also increasing the quality and acceptance standards for valves imported for use in its vehicles.while the complaint and warranty claim rates are elevated for subject vehicles produced from december 2006 through march 2007, the rates of leaking valves are well below one percent of production for each of the peak months for all of the affected models.a substantial majority of the subject vehicles are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) which warn the driver when any tire pressures drops below 25 percent of recommended inflation pressure. As outlined in a letter to odi dated april 6, 2009, ford has agreed to send letters to owners of certain my 2007 and 2008 ford, lincoln and mercury vehicles to provide information about the cracking concern. Letters will be sent to owners of vehicles built from november 2006 through may 2007.owners can opt for a free dealer inspection.valves exhibiting surface cracks or air leakage related to ozone attack will be replaced by ford under its normal warranty terms.ford expects to send the letter by approximately mid-may 2009. Based on the use of TPMS in the majority of subject vehicles and the relatively low rates of repairs associated with leaking valves and resultant tire damage, odi believes that the actions ford has agreed to take will provide effective and expeditious resolution for vehicles that were built during the period when valves with inadequate resistance to ozone cracking were most likely to have been used in vehicle production.further investigation of this matter would not be an efficient allocation of agency resources.accordingly, this investigation is closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency will continue to

What 2007 Ford Edge owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There are three main issues with my 2007 ford edge. First the brakes make noises and sometimes work and sometimes don't. The tires kept going flat. I have replaced all 4 four tires and one front and one back tire twice now. The transmission slips frequently.
1. Was driving to work in my 2007 ford edge sel with hankook tires, when the low tire pressure indicator light turned on. 2. At work, I found a tire was at 20 psi and leaking from a crack at the base of the valve stem. I inspected the three other stems and found them with cracks at the base of the valve stem. 3. I took the car into the local ford dealership. They charged me for the replacement of the leaking valve stem. They did not touch the other three valve stems. The very next day, another valve stem failed and began to leak.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that the tire pressure sensor disintegrated inside the right rear tire which caused the tire to be off balance. The remaining three tires have not been affected. The dealer stated that the tires are not covered by the warranty and they would have to pay out of pocket for the repairs. The failure mileage was 40,000.
I have a 2007 ford edge with continental tires size p245/60 r18-------104t this vehicle only has 16,000 miles on it and the front tires have worn down dramatically and the back tires have worn down on the insides only, which wasn't seen until the tires were rotated in september. Now that the tires have been rotated the tires that were removed from the back and put on the front are now wearing down, like the ones that were in the front did. I have contacted continental tire who says the problem belongs to ford and ford says the problem is the tire companies problem. I have a 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and they deny having any responsibility and continental tire says they don't warranty the tires for the purchaser of the vehicle.
We own a 2007 ford edge and during our trip this past weekend had two of the four valve stems go bad on us and cause the sensor to activate. When we checked each time we found that the stems had "split" and air was coming out causing flat tires. The first event was on the 30th of july on our way to destination and the second was on the 2nd of august on our way back home. This was especially frustrating as we were in a nomans land area with no services and had to limp for a few hours on the donut spare tire to get to a town that had service. As a result we will be having the other two replaced today!
Tire pressure sensor light came on dashboard. Pulled off highway and tire was almost completely flat instantly. Found that the left front valve stem was cracked and faulty. As of 7/7/2009; all four valve stems have gone bad and been replaced.
Tire valve stem broke off of my 2007 ford edge.
Within a matter of one month I am replacing 3 out of 4 valve stems on my 2007 ford edge tires. Of course I am making them change the 4th tire today as well. My concern is the wheel now, has this issued cause additional defects on the wheel it self???? ~freda agner~ orlando fl
Sudden deflation of front drivers tire. Upon inspection three of the four tire valve stems on the vehicle are cracked. Also the scissor type jack provided in the ford edge collapsed under the weight of the SUV. Had to call 911 for a tow truck.
