AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH/HOUR I HEAR A SLIGHT POPPING NOISE COME FROM THE FROM PASSENGER TIRE AND THEN FOLLOWED THE TIRES PRESSURE DASH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AT MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY. MY TURE HAD GONE COMPLETELY FLAT WITH OUT HITTING ANY BUMPS OR POT HOLES. I PUT THE SPARE ON AND RETURNED HOME. MY BOYFRIEND INSPECTED THE TIRE USING SOAPY WATER AND REALIZED THE AIR WAS ESCAPING FROM THE RIM WALL (STR P245/40 R20) AND NOT THE TIRE ITSELF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WE REALIZED MANY STRESS FACTURES ON THE RIM ON ALL FOUR TIRES NOT JUST THE ONE THAT LOST ALL THE AIR ORIGINALLY. I REPLACED MY TIRES PIRELLI ALL SEASON PLUS AND SCORPION VERDE TIRES WITH MY STOCK TIRES. I RESEARCHED THE TIRES FOR A RECALL AND NOTICED A RECALL ON OTHER TIRES THAT WERE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL JUST DIFFERENT SIZES HAD THE SAME ISSUE, A FAILED RIM WALL CAUSING IT TO BREAK OFF CAUSING ACCIDENTS, THAT MY AFTERMARKET TIRES WERE HAVING. MY TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED PIRELLIS SO THEREFORE I HAVE NOT BEEN USING MY TIRES FOR FEAR THE OTHER 3 TIRES WILL ALSO WORSEN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. STR P245/75 R 20 AND STR P245/40/ R20 ALL SEASON PLUS AND SCORPION VERDE MODELS ALSO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT NEVER TURNS OFF EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED WHICH CAUSES A BEEPING WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FACTORY RIMS ON ALL FOUR TIRES CAUSED THE TIRE PRESSURE TO DECREASE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE STORE WHICH STATED THAT THERE WAS RUST AROUND THE RIMS AND THE RIMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE TO THE JEEP DODGE CHEROKEE DEALERSHIP TO GET HER RECALL TAKING CARE OF. ON THE WAY THERE AT THE OFF RAMP OF 575 AND RIVERSTONE PARKWAY I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO GET OFF ON THE RAMP TO EXIT AND I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND THE MOTOR ACCELERATED VERY LOUD AND ODD SOUNDING. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO ANYONE WAS SLAM ON THE BRAKES WHEN I DID THAT THE BREAKS GAVE A LOUD SCREECH AND WAS VERY SLOW TO STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING 3 CARS ON THE LEFT SIDE NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED NOR DID ANY OF THE SEATBELT LOCK SO THE ONLY THING I HAD TO STOP ME FROM HITTING MY HEAD AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TO PUT MY HANDS OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE IMPACT HAPPEN IT WAS SO FIERCE THAT MY RIGHT HAND GAVE OUT AND WAS SNATCHED OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND I DAMAGED MY RIGHT ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. STILL KIND OF HURTS AND I STILL HAVE SCARS.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH NHTSA ACTION # PE08060, I AM JUST REPORTING AN INCIDENT. EVEN THOUGH THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED THERE ARE STILL DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS OUT THERE. JUST REPORTING THIS FOR YOUR DATA. WE BOUGHT AN '07 MUSTANG LAST YEAR. IT WAS A ONE OWNER WITH VERY LOW MILES AND HAD NEVER HAD THE TIRES OR STEMS REPLACED IN IT'S LIFETIME APPARENTLY. SO WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE VALVE STEMS BECAUSE OF THE CRACKING AND LEAKING, TODAY THE 4TH ONE STARTED LEAKING. LUCKILY MY NEIGHBORHOOD TIRE SHOP DOES NOT CHARGE VERY MUCH TO REPLACE THEM IF I TAKE THE WHEEL OFF MYSELF AND TAKE IT UP THERE, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET BACK THE MONEY FOR THE TROUBLE. BUT, IF IT WASN'T FOR FORD'S LOW PRESSURE WARNING AND US BEING VIGILANT STICKLERS FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW IN CASE THERE ARE STILL "ONE OWNER" CARS OUT THERE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVEN MUCH AND ARE STILL PUT UP IN GARAGES SOMEWHERE. *JS

SIMILAR TO THE 2010 FUSION PROBLEM OF STUCK ACCELERATOR, I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 FORD MUSTANG GT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE I RECEIVED THE MATS IN JUNE OF 2007 AND HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES! THE ALL-WEATHER MAT IS SITTING ON TOP OF THE STANDARD MAT AND SLIPS FORWARD. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED FULLY, IT DOES GET STUCK UNDER THE ALL-WEATHER MAT. IN ONE INCIDENT, I WAS ON A FREEWAY GOING TO PASS A VEHICLE. WHEN I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR, IT STUCK! IN A MUSTANG, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION INVOLVED AND I WAS UP OVER 120MPH IN SECONDS! I HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO BEGIN DECELERATION. FRIGHTENING! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT/RUG ON MY 2007 MUSTANG WAS NOT LOCKED UNDER THE TAB ON THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. BECAUSE THE MAT SLIDES FORWARD IT INTERFERES WITH THE GAS/ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO NOT RETURN AND ALLOW DE-ACCELERATION/SLOWING DOWN. I TOOK THE MUSTANG TO A LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THE FLOOR MAT/RUG CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT MUST BE LOCKED UNDER THE TAB TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING FORWARD AND INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS WITH THE RECENT TOYOTA PROBLEM?? I BELIEVE A SAFETY NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS IS IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT THIS TYPE OF POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. *TR

I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE SEPTEMBER 2008 CONSUMERS REPORTS MAGAZINE WHICH DESCRIBED A RECALL FOR MANUFACTURER : TECH INTERNATIONAL, NHTSA 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. *TR
