The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the tire pressure sensor disintegrated inside the right rear tire which caused the tire to be off balance. The remaining three tires have not been affected. The dealer stated that the tires are not covered by the warranty and they would have to pay out of pocket for the repairs. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Sudden deflation of front drivers tire. Upon inspection three of the four tire valve stems on the vehicle are cracked. Also the scissor type jack provided in the Ford Edge collapsed under the weight of the SUV. Had to call 911 for a tow truck.

While traveling on I-35 the left front tire suddenly lost air pressure at highway speeds. Upon inspection of tire, no damage other than what was inflicted from the event of traveling at 70mph while flat was found. The problem was that the valve stem failed. It was cracked at the base allowing a sudden loss of tire pressure. The other valve stems on the car are also cracked at the base but not completely failed yet.

I purchased a 2007 Ford Edge sel plus, and 6 months later I kept getting a low pressure message. I would refill the tire and a day later it was low. I took it in to the dealer and the valve stem was broken, as well as 3 other cracked valve stems. They replaced them all but charged me a discounted rate of $65 for the labor. Ford refused to cover it, and I had very low miles on the car. This was frightening, knowing this was the problem with the Explorer in the 1990's.

While driving my 2007 Ford Edge it displays "tire pressure sensor fault". this occurs generally during highway driving. When I took it to the dealer for repair, I was told that they couldn't figure out why the message was displayed. It has not been fixed. It would seem to me that this highly touted safety feature should work.

After driving out of the dealers lot not more than ten miles down the road the TPMS system went off telling me I had low tires on the vehicle (200 miles on it). Called dealer and was told to air up the tires and it would reset it's self in 2 minutes. Did not happen. Drove home only to find that the left back-up light was also not working.
