Low tire pressure sensor comes on after a couple of weeks of airing up tires I took to ford who said tires where overinflated so the set it back to the correct air pressure only to get the light back on in a week . This is a serious problem because tires can be over inflated which could cause the tire to explode or cause extremely quick tire wear.{either by over inflating or the low tire pressure} these tires are over inflated only to keep the tire pressure light from coming back on. I also brought up to ford service dept. About the valve stem issue I read , but the looked at me like I was crazy . Nobody there heard of that . I am just 1 person but I have a small child and don't want this issue to cause a serious accident thank you

Valve stems on 2007 ford mustang failed.
In early 2007, I experienced the first loss of a tire under mysterious circumstances. I was traveling along at about 60 MPH when I experienced sudden loss of pressure in a tire. This was not preceded by any "audible chime". Perhaps I could not hear same because of traffic noise. Over the next 3 months I went through a similar experience on 2 other tires. I went to the internet and found that other people with similar cars had apparent valve stem failure. By this time I had noticed a valve stem with a crack in it. Went to my ford dealer and placed a warranty claim with ford. Was promptly turned down and treated badly by the dealer service mgr., also. I then filed a better business bureau claim and suddenly ford and the dealer wanted to settle. The settlement was in a satisfactory amount. Whenever a vehicle suffers a sudden tire failure, some risk to the occupants is likely to follow. Apparently no one has been killed in relation to this problem, thankfully. My mustang was built in february, 2007.
My 2007 ford mustang was shipped without tire air pressure sensors. When I took it to the dealer they wanted me to pay for sensors.
My car is a 2007 ford mustang gt and since we purchased it in march 2007, we have had 3 separate issues with the valve stems. In the most recent incident, my son was driving the car and experienced a tire blowout while traveling at highway speeds. When we took the car to the dealer we were told that the problem again came from a cracked valve stem. Ford did replace the tire at no charge to us; however I still have concerns about the safety of the vehicle and the remaining valve stems.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford mustang. The vehicle has pirelli tires. The contact stated that three tires failed due to the loss of tire pressure. The dealer replaced the first tire failure; however, they would not replace the second one. The contact had to purchase a new tire. Recently, a third tire has failed. These were the original tires that were equipped on the brand new vehicle. The contact did not know the remaining tread depth. The vehicle was not driven over any potholes or any other road hazards to cause the failure. No maintenance or service was performed on the tires. The tire size was unknown. The failure mileage was 12,789.
I have a 2007 ford mustang gt premium convertible. I had taken two of my tires to ntb to have the tires replaced with oem tires. I noticed the valve stems cracked on the old tires, and asked to have them replaced. Upon driving the car the very next day, one of the new tires lost pressure and went flat on the highway. When I went to replace it with my spare, I noticed the valve stems were not replaced. I immediately called ntb, and they are going to replace the now bad tire with a replacement, and change both valves, which were never replaced. After I got home I noticed that the two original tires that were not replaced have cracked valves. I am going to have these replaced also. The original tires only have 12,000 miles on them.
Three (3) tires will not hold tire pressure; have to be inflated 3 to 5 times per week to maintain tire pressure.
Tire blow out caused by a faulty (leaking) valve stem, when the remaining 3 were checked - 2 were cracked and one was leaking.
I have a 2007 ford mustang that I have to constantly keep adding air to the tires. I thought I just ran something over, but I don't see anything and it seems to be a slow leak in all tires. I recently saw the investigation on the valve stems so I wanted to give my input that I think my car could possibly be affected by this. I called my dealer and said the valve stems could be replaced at my expense only at this time.
I currently own a 2007 ford mustang with 13,500 miles on it. Less than a year after I bought the car I had only 5,000 miles on it and my tire pressure monitor system went of on a mild september day. I pulled over at a gas station less than a block from when the sensor light came on and found the left rear tire valve stem was cracked at the base where it seats in the rim. I filled the tire and made it another block to a tire repair store, where they replaced actually two valve stems that were bad. I immediately went to my local ford dealership where I bought the car and complained. I was told to call the tire manufacturer as if I was some dumb woman. As a woman working in a mans field as a mechanic I know that tires do not come with valve stems tires come as tire and I argued that with the dealership. They finally agreed to look at the car, and found that the tire going flat ruined the tire pressure monitoring system band and damaged the sidewall of the tire. They agreed to replace the tire pressure monitor band and ordered a replacement tire for me. Just a week ago with the 13,000 miles on the car I had the same problem again with the tire pressure monitor system going off and I immediately checked the valve stems and found another valve stem that was cracked apart. I went back to my dealership and they question why it was the left rear tire again as I replied that I had my tires rotated and then they asked if I had "curbed" the car or tires. I laughed and commented on the lack of scuff marks on the tires. Once again they relented and replaced the faulty valve stem at no charge. I am beginning to feel unsafe in my own vehicle and recall the issues that ford had previously with tires and accidents. I do live in the midwest where there is a regular occurrence of snow and ice and I would imagine getting a flat going 55 on a local highway in the winter would be devastating.
Cracked valve on new 2007 ford mustang. I had two flats in a week. All of the valves were cracked. I replaced them all.
Tire valve stems cracking on new car, only 7 months old and all 4 tire valves where cracked. No accident happened and ford replaced all 4. These are not the same that have been recalled recently. The car has the tire pressure monitoring system with special valves.
Valve stem failure in 2007 mustang. On aug 3, brought mustang into sears automotive in ocoee. Upon inspection of failed tire they found four valve steams failed on the car.
I read an article in the september 2008 consumers reports magazine which described a recall for manufacturer : tech international, the federal safety agency campaign id number : 08t018000 , for defective tire valves. I had a problem with a defective tire valve recently on my 2007 ford mustang, and now wonder if ford isn't using this same manufacturer of tire valves in their new cars. More details of my incident follow... 1) I was driving at approx. 55 MPH on two lane road on a hot (90+) summer day (6/8/08). The low pressure warning light came on, and I pulled over asap to investigate. 2) the driver side rear tire was low. I pumped air into the tire, and noticed the valve stem was cracked at the base where it installs in the alloy rim. It would not hold pressure, so I installed the spare, and drove to a nearby sears to repair the valve stem. 3) I paid $26 for a "flat repair" - basically they replaced the tire valve. I do not have the old part. The good news is the tire pressure sensor technology saved me from having a high speed flat. I expected to find a nail in my tire, not a faulty valve stem. I have not contacted my local ford dealer at this time. I purchased the car new from ford in april 2007. It is a 2007 ford mustang v6, 4.0l sohc, with approx. 10k miles. The tires are pirelli pzero nero p235/ mounted on alloy wheels.
I recently had a valve stem blow on a huge bridge in jacksonville florida. My car is a new 2007 ford mustang., with only 6,000 miles. I had to purchase a new tire to drive home. *tr I took the tire back to the dealership and they inspected my tires to find another valve that was cracked and bad. What is being done? How do I get re-imbursed for the tire that I had to purchase.
Sidewall separation occurred at steady-state, interstate, 60mph speed, 15,000 on vehicle new vehicle, tires had been "rotated" two hours previous, never run underinflated.
I had filed a complaint a few weeks ago ( odi# 10192797) about the power steering pump failure on my 2007 mustang gt which had 270 miles on it. The dealership replaced the pump under the warranty and I had mentioned a problem with the front end also. I returned the car to the dealership and to my dismay, was told that they had to replace my front struts, they explained that this was the cause of my alignment issue. They further explained to me that they think that while my car was being transported via train, that they tied the car down too tightly causing stress on the struts and casters causing the alignment and steering wheel issues. The work has been completed and covered under warranty and although the alignment issue has been solved and the steering wheel back in its normal position I have noticed a thumping noise from the right front when going over bumps, almost like a bad strut mount or something. In all fairness to the dealership who is fixing my car, they have been excellent with me and this has all been covered under warranty . My car now has 1,700 miles on it and am worried I may have to swap it out for another which I really do not want to do at this point, it took a lot of research to mix and match all the colors and the options that my car has.
