| I have factory 20 inch ford wheels on this truck. these are the 20 inch wheels that came on the truck new. two of the factory wheels have had cracks that appear on the wheel where the tire bead meets the wheel. i do not abuse my truck. i contacted ford motor company and they said that they have never heard of this before. i have had two wheels do this. if you do a search on the net there are several people having this problem. i think ford is trying to hide something and it looks like someone will have to get hurt or die before anyone address this problem. *tr | |||

| I bought a used ford 2007 f-150 super crew cab 4x4. new tires were put on by the dealer. i have had three separate incidents of the tire valve stems breaking and causing deflation while in movement. after two breaking i went to the dealer and complained. i was told they had no reason or complaints of this occurring.while traveling out of state i had a third stem break. each time i had new stems replaced. i began researching for myself and found an article which stated that ford had complaints of defective valve stems on almost all their vehicles including mercury's. after two attempts and complaints to my dealer i went to a local tire distributor and they recommended replacing all rubber valve stems with brass high pressure valve stems. after doing this i have not had a problem. the cost for rubber stems are around $1.50 each and i paid $6.00 each for the good stems. this is a small price to pay for you and your family's safety. my dealer still hasn't contacted me with a suggestion as to correcting the problem. first incident was around april 5, 2010 and second incident august 24, 2010 and third was october 18,2010. | |||

| I have had 3 of the 4 tire valves leak 1 has leaked 2 times so a total of 4 leaks over the past 3 months. i have taken them to tire repair shops and also the ford dealer to fix. the dealer told me they thought it was because of harsh cleaners. i told them i don't use any. the tire repair shops told me they thought it was a problem with the valves. the dealer told me there was nothing they could do but do a repair and charge me that it wasn't a recall or warranty issue. i have been having wearing on my tires due to these problems. *tr | |||
