Description of the problem | The tire valve stems leak. I have replaced 8 valve stems and i have owned my trust approximately 1 year. In some instances the leak rate was very significant, requiring frequent stops to re-inflate the tires. Ford has not addressed the problem - the company simply replaces the valve stems and leaks resume within 2-3 months. This was a major safety issue recently when we were towing a large load in the mountains of colorado. Ford has refused to acknowledge the problem and have refused to correct the root cause. / the vale stems leak under all conditions - while driving, while towing a load, while parked. |
