2007 Ford Focus Tires Problems

“Three of four hankook optimo tires on my 2007 Ford Focus deflated completely over the course of a month. Broken valve stems were the cause in each case. I had the valve stem replaced on the three failed tires as well as the fourth; no use in waiting for that one to fail too.”

“On june 13, 2009, my husband, my 16 month old son and I were driving on i95 s from north carolina to south carolina when my rear left tire blew out. This sent us fish tailing across all lanes and finally when the back of my car spun around into the shoulder, the car flipped onto the driver side, then onto the top of the car, then finally landing back upright. Not during any time did the airbags deploy on any side of my car.”

“Noticed low tire, went to fill with air, and valve stem pulled out of tire. Went to dealership, and they sold me a new tire. I explained the situation, with the valve stem, but they made no comment of any problems. I have the old valve stem.”

“I bought a new 2007 Ford Focus and it is four months old with 20,000 miles on it. The tires are bald with different patterns. The tire that concerns me the most is the one that has a wave like pattern on it. The dealer said its normal wear and tear but all the people including mechanics I showed it too before I went to Ford said they had never seen anything like it before. I am concerned that there is a major defect that could seriously injure someone.”

“I recently had my 2007 Ford Focus in for an oil change and the automotive company told me I would need to replace my tires. I have rotated my tires every other oil change to ensure proper wear and even wear and also for safety and maintenance. I had approximately 40k miles at that time. I asked the automotive service company if pirelli warranties the tire and they said unfortunately not. I went to discount tire, they told me the tires need replacing and there is no warranty on the tire because it is an oem tire. …”
