2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

I HAVE HAD TO GET THREE VALVE STEMS ON MY 2007 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC REPLACED WITHIN 3 DAYS. THEY WERE CRACKED AND ROTTED. 2007???? CRACKED AND ROTTED??. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS CUTTING MY VALVE STEMS ON PURPOSE. WHEN THE TIRE GUY PULLED TO REMOVE THE OLD VALVE STEM THEY SPLIT IN HALF WITH HARDLY ANY FORCE EXERTED ON THEM. NOW I FIND OUT THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.. UNREAL *TR

FORD SPORT TRAC EXPLORER WAS T BONED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK SPUN AND ROLLED HARD ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE. NO PASSENGERS WERE IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME AND WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, DUE TO THE SUBSEQUENT ROLL ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE AS A RESULT OF THE ROLLOVER I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE TRUCK IS A WRITE-OFF PER MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS ABOUT MY CONCERNS AND SEEKING REASSURANCE THAT THIS WAS NOT A ISOLATED PROBLEM OR INDEED AN ISSUE THAT WOULD GO UNNOTICED. WHILE THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS PERSON WAS SYMPATHETIC SHE COULD OFFER NO MORE HELP OTHER THAN TO ADVISE ME TO CONTACT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I SPOKE WITH FORD DEALER, SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE WAS NOT AWARE OF PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE AIRBAGS. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE POSSESSION OF MY ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY IN A YARD SOMEWHERE IN MEMPHIS TN. *TR

2007JUN 08 EXPLORER SPORT TRAC LIMITED V6 * AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION * 8,000 MILES "I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY DOORS FREEZING SHUT. WATER RUN ALONG THE RUBBER SEAL & FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER OR POOLS WHEN IT RAINS. LAST WEEK ALL DOORS WERE FROZE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT IN, THERE WAS AN INCH OF ICE IN BOTH BOTTOM BACK DOOR WELLS & 12" TO 14" ICICLES HANGING IN THE HINGES IN BOTH FRONT DOORS. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER, BERT WOLFE FORD, CHARLESTON, WV 3 TIMES. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE IN MY AREA, THEIRS DOESN'T DO THIS. ONE LADY ACTUALLY WENT TO BERT WOLFE WITH ME ON A RAINY DAY TO SHOW HERS DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. JAMIE SIX, SERVICE MANAGER SAID, "ED @ WATER DOCTOR SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE TO FIX IT, THEY ALL DO THIS." I TOLD JAMIE I DIDN'T BUY IT FROM ED. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED FORD SINCE I WENT THROUGH THE CHANNELS, 2 YEARS & NO RESOLUTION. I WONDER WHO WILL FIX THE RUBBER & RUST ONCE THE WARRANTY IS UP? *TR

ON 12/27/2008 WENT ACROSS RR TRACKS AT 25 MPH HAD A FRT TIRE BLOWOUT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION DISCOVERED TIRE SPLITTING APART ON THE INSIDE WALL OF ALL FOUR TIRES NEAR THE RIM. OUT OF SITE OF A VISUAL INSPECTION UNLESS TIRE IS OFF. 23,000 MILES ON 07 FORD SPT TRACK. WAY TOO SOON TO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS A TIRE DEFECT AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. TOOK TIRES TO FORD DEALER AND GOODYEAR NO HELP OR VERY MUCH CONCERN. IM CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE OTHER DRIVERS OUT THERE WITH THESE TIRES AND THEY SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THE SPLITS THAT ARE OCCURRING AND HAVE THEIR TIRES INSPECTED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE. IF OTHER DRIVERS TIRES ARE SPLITTING LIKE MIND DID THEN THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP. AND I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR HAVING TO PURCHASE 4 BRAND NEW TIRES SO SOON. I ALSO HAVE KEPT THE TIRES AS PROOF OF MY COMPLAINT. THANK YOU *TR

VALVE STEM FAILURE. RAPID DEFLATION OF TIRE. 2ND FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. 1ST FAILURE WAS 09/23/2008 ON A DIFFERENT TIRE - VEHICLE NOT MOVING AT THE TIME. DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEED 50-60 MPH, 30 DEGREES, 8:00 AM EST. LOW PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR COME ON. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES I FEEL TRUCK HANDLING CHANGE. I PULL OVER INTO PARKING LOT. I TOUCH VALVE STEM AND HERE AIR ESCAPE. WITHIN 2 MORE MINUTES TIRE WAS COMPLETELY DEFLATED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 EXPLORER SPORT TRAC XLT INTO OF SERVER FOR FALL IN THE BRAKES,THE BOB OF ENGINEER STATED WHAT WAS THE MOST COMMON FAULT IN THIS VEHICLE,TODAY HAVE 40 DAYS AND THE PCM IN THE VEHICLE CANT BE REPAIRED BY THE SHOP. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM: WHEN TRYING TO STEP ON THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO SLIP THIS CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I SPOKE WITH OTHER FORD OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2007 SPORTRAC 8 CYL. FOR 1-1/2 YEARS. EVERY MORNING WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, I MUST WAIT A FULL THIRTY SECONDS OR MORE BEFORE I CAN PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. IF I DO IT SOONER, THEN THE ENGINE WILL REV, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. IF I REV THE ENGINE TO 6,000 RPM IT WILL BUDGE A BIT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TWICE FOR THIS AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ADDITIONALLY, I AM ONLY GETTING ABOUT 9.5 MPG, AND I FEEL IT MAY BE BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. *TR
