“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”
