TIRE VALVE STEM FAILURE ON 2007 FORD RANGER. 1ST FAILURE DEC 08, SECOND FAILURE MAY 09. I JUST RECEIVE A REMINDER LETTER FROM FORD RECOMMENDING CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE ROUTINELY AND NOTING THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED WITH THESE VALVE STEMS. I CHECKED THE REMAINING TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT TO FALL OFF. WHY ISN'T THIS A MANDATORY RECALL???? THEY INDICATE THAT IF MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY CAN BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. WELL I DRIVE ALOT AND HAVE 50K ON MY TRUCK. FORD HAS POOR WARRANTIES AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT THEY DID NOT PROPERLY TEST THESE VALVE STEMS PRIOR TO DEPLOYING THEM. I ONLY HAD MY TRUCK FOR 1 1/2 YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST FAILURE. THIS KIND OF STUFF NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NO WONDER THE BIG THREE ARE IN SUCH A WORLD OF HURT. IF THEY WOULD JUST PUT OUT GOOD VEHICLES AND STAND BEHIND THEM. *TR
