2010 Ford Fusion Tires Problems

While driving 45mph on a smooth road, the tire sidewall blew out. Tire torn in several places. No sign of any contributing damage that could have caused the problem, nor was there a pothole or road debris. Tires are from 2019, and had 25,000 miles of use.

TIRE VALVES ALL STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I WOULD WAKE UP TO FLAT TIRES EVERY MORNING. WHEN I WOULD FIX ONE, THE OTHER WOULD START LEAKING AIR AS WELL. I HAD TO CHANGE ALL FOUR OF THEM BECAUSE COINCIDENTALLY THEY WERE ALL LEAKING AIR. THE STAFF AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE ALSO TRYING TO BLAME ME SAYING THAT I MUST'VE HIT SOMETHING. IT'S NOT ME, IT'S THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID WHICH I LOVE DRIVING AND I BELIEVE IT IS ONE OF THE BEST CARS OUT THERE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR THE TIRES WERE WEARING OUT VERY FAST AND AT 18,000 THEY WERE WORN WHERE IT WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAD TO BUY NEW TIRES. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE TIRES AND THEY WANTED $1182.00 FOR REPLACEMENT ONES. MIND YOU, I BUY THE THREE YEAR FULL MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE AS WELL. I HEARD FROM OTHER FUSION DRIVERS THAT EVEN BUYING NEW TIRES, THE WEAR IS VERY FAST. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG HERE AND FORD IS NOT ADMITTING IT. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 FORD FUSION AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ONE TIRE LOSING AIR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW BUT THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE LEAK UNTIL RECENTLY. FINALLY AFTER GOING TO TWO TIRE CENTERS ON FRIDAY THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND THAT, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TIRE/RIM THAT CAUSED AN INDENT IN THE TIRE AT THE INNER BEAD THAT CAUSED A SLOW SEEPING LEAK. I HAVE A STATEMENT FROM THE OWNER OF THAT TIRE CENTER THAT IN NO WAY WOULD A SEAL BE A PERMANENT FIX. I THEN HAD TO TAKE IT INTO THE FORD SERVICE CENTER WERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE BEADS WERE NOT SEALING TO THE ACTUAL RIM. A BEAD SEAL WAS DONE ON ALL FOUR TIRES BUT NEITHER THE TIRE OR THE RIM WAS REPLACED. I REQUESTED A NEW TIRE BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS WHAT WAS BEING DONE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TO COME BACK IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND STATEMENTS THAT OTHERS HAVE EVEN EXPERIENCED BLOW-OUTS AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH A LEARNER'S PERMIT AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. SHE NEEDS DRIVING HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO SINCE I AM WORRIED ABOUT THERE BEING A PROBLEM WITH MY TIRES. THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT WE HAD PLANNED ON POSSIBLY PASSING DOWN TO HER, BUT IF THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE THEN, WE MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES AND RIMS JUST TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING SO. I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE FOUR TIRES AND RIMS AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, AT JUST APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES. *TR
