• Tire valve cracking investigation # PE08060

  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.Odis 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 nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles and take further action in the future if warranted.

Had to replace transmission completely at 137,000 miles. There's been a lot of complaints about these transmissions at this mileage and ford should be responsible for some of the cost. This is ridiculous.

1st while driving the driver's seat continues to move back n forth from way back to up close driving this vehicle while this seat moves is very dangerous everytime i lock the doors they unlock n only lock when off

I am receiving false readings as to the activation of the air bags. This happens when i am starting the vehicle and also when i am operating the vehicle on the highway. I can turn the vehicle off and restart it, and sometimes the indicator works properly and sometimes it does not. I experience the same problem sometimes when the passenger seat is occupied. My concern is the fact i don't know if my airbag is operational or not. I contacted my local dealer and was informed i would be charged $99 to just have it checked. I have not done so.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury mountaineer. While driving various speeds, the interior lighting illuminated and the driver's seat unintentionally moved backwards. The contact stated that the failures occurred periodically. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 207,000.

Car ran rough & hesitated/surged upon acceleration. Apparently this is a common ford problem involving premature spark plug break down in the ford triton engine see ford spark plug class action settlement. Shultz ford in nanuet ny diagnosed the problem as faulty plugs, there was also a risk of breaking plugs upon removal. I had them do the repairs at a cost of $788. Later i found that there was a settlement, however my car was not included even though it had the same engine as the cars/trucks/ suv's that were included in the settlement. Ford customer service said there was nothing they could do re: reimbursing me for the repair expense as my suv was not included in the settlement. They suggested i file this complaint. Can i get some satisfaction?

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercury mountaineer. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would jump and jerk. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000. *tt updated 9/21/18*jb

Intermittently, the seat moves to the 'easy egress' position while the car is in motion. The dome light comes on, as it would if you were getting out of the car. From reading the many similar complaints, i agree that it happens when braking or turning and it happens at all speeds. This started happening about one month ago. No accident yet but it's very jarring and dangerous.

I had to replace the transmission and some other related parts in my vehicle and i was informed by a dealership that there was a "silent recall" on this transmission and that even though ford motor company was aware of the issues as early as 2000 they continue to install them in vehicles. If you look online you will see quite a number of complaints on this transmission. I feel since ford knowingly kept using these transmissions and was well aware of their possible failure when they reached 130,000 miles that they should be responsible for at least a portion of he costs if indeed, not all of the cost of replacement. What happens when a car company puts out a silent recall? Do i have any rights? I have already sent a certified letter to ford motor customer relations in dearborn, mi and i have a signed receipt that they accepted my letter but they have not bothered to contact me at all. What are my options and is this something you can help me with? The first time this transmission caused a problem was when we were in 5 pm traffic on a road with a speed limit of 55 miles an hour and the car just stopped leaving my family in the middle of a busy two lane road which was very dangerous. We were finally able to get the vehicle to the shoulder. I can forward my bills and copies of online conversations regarding the failure of these transmissions.
