As I was driving approximately 65mph/hour I hear a slight popping noise come from the from passenger tire and then followed the tires pressure dash light illuminated. I pulled off the road at my first opportunity. My ture had gone completely flat with out hitting any bumps or pot holes. I put the spare on and returned home. My boyfriend inspected the tire using soapy water and realized the air was escaping from the rim wall (str P245/40 R20) and not the tire itself. Upon further inspection we realized many stress factures on the rim on all four tires not just the one that lost all the air originally. I replaced my tires pirelli all season plus and scorpion verde tires with my stock tires. I researched the tires for a recall and noticed a recall on other tires that were the same make and model just different sizes had the same issue, a failed rim wall causing it to break off causing accidents, that my aftermarket tires were having. My tires are experiencing the same issue as the recalled pirellis so therefore I have not been using my tires for fear the other 3 tires will also worsen and cause an accident. Str P245/75 R 20 and str P245/40/ R20 all season plus and scorpion verde models also the seat belt light never turns off even when the seat belts are properly engaged which causes a beeping while driving.
I am reporting shimmy in front due to struts. I researched and noticed the struts are being recalled and replaced for this model of Ford Mustang. I would like to have these front struts replaced under the NHTSA recal, along with a passenger rear tire monitor. I can not get the tire monitor light to go off. My cell number is (xxxxx). Also the passenger air bag is not operative parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I was following my wife to the Jeep Dodge Cherokee dealership to get her recall taking care of. On the way there at the off ramp of 575 and riverstone parkway I made a right turn to get off on the ramp to exit and I heard a loud thud and the motor accelerated very loud and odd sounding. I was unable to control the vehicle. The only thing I could do to keep from running into anyone was slam on the brakes when I did that the breaks gave a loud screech and was very slow to stop. I ended up hitting 3 cars on the left side none of the airbags deployed nor did any of the seatbelt lock so the only thing I had to stop me from hitting my head against the steering wheel was to put my hands out in front of me on the steering wheel. When the impact happen it was so fierce that my right hand gave out and was snatched of the steering wheel and I damaged my right arm on the steering wheel column. Still kind of hurts and I still have scars.
Traveling South bound on I65 on Friday May 23,2014 just North exit 325 and hit a sink hole. Passenger side front and rear tires and wheels were damaged.

In association with NHTSA action # PE08060, I am just reporting an incident. Even though the investigation is closed there are still defective valve stems out there. Just reporting this for your data. We bought an '07 Mustang last year. It was a one owner with very low miles and had never had the tires or stems replaced in it's lifetime apparently. So we have had to replace three valve stems because of the cracking and leaking, today the 4th one started leaking. Luckily my neighborhood tire shop does not charge very much to replace them if I take the wheel off myself and take it up there, but it would be nice to get back the money for the trouble. But, if it wasn't for Ford's low pressure warning and us being vigilant sticklers for vehicle maintenance, this could have been a problem. Just letting you know in case there are still "one owner" cars out there that haven't been driven much and are still put up in garages somewhere.
I have a 2007 Ford Mustang. At 25,000 miles the rear passenger side tire the brakes are scratching up the rotor. I have read many cases with the same problem with other Ford vehicles. This is definitely a defect.
