About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
We purchased 2011 Ford Fusion hybrid & picked it up from dealer on 12 Jul 2011 and drove it home. When we drove vehicle next on 16 July 2011, the TPMS warning went off when we were only a couple of miles from home. I turned around to get vehicle home, but noted that the vehicle sounded like tire was flat. I pulled off and saw passenger rear tire was completely flat. We called Ford roadside assistance who changed tire. The man who changed the tire (installed donut) noted that the valve stem was missing. I took vehicle to local Ford dealer who found the valve stem had separated and was inside the tire. The valve stem was replaced by the Ford dealer under warranty as the vehicle had less than 100 miles on it when tire failed.
