Problems with 2007 Ford Five Hundred TIRES

I recently ran into a major issue with my 2007 ford five hundred which really scared me. i was rotating the tires on the car and when i was removing the wheel from the drivers side of the car i noticed that the wheel wobbled back and forth. at first i thought this was just a bad ball joint and purchased a new one to replace it. when i started to remove the factory installed ball joint i noticed that the nut that holds the ball joint to the lower connection joint was on the verge of coming off. i find this very disturbing as i live in a very mountainous state with many curvy roads and steep drop offs. had this nut finished coming off while on one of these roads i may not be writing this letter. i will also contact nafta about this situation as it may be occurring on more vehicles than just mine. i would also like to be reimbursed for the part i had installed as it in itself was not defective. i have bought many ford vehicles and will probably continue to as i think overall ford makes a high quality car. i have since checked the other side and found no problems on the passenger side of the vehicle. thanks for looking into this matter and i hope to hear from you soon! *tr

2007 ford five hundred tires are cracking, local tire dealer says it shouldn't be a problem....safety is not their first concern i guess. he says the pirelli p6 tires that are oem only have 50,000 mile rating to them, i have 37,000 miles and they are rotting. tires keep going low. *tr

Have 2007 ford 500 had a flat tire on rt. rear. took car to dealer to fix. they said it was caused by a cracked wheel. possibly hitting bump in road. it has 18444 miles rarely driven and has never hit a bump very hard or at all. bumper to bumper will not cover the cost, and we believe this is a faulty wheel from factory. please help. *tr

I have a 2007 ford five hundred with continental p215-60r17 tires. on dec 14, 2007, after my tires had been rotated at town east ford in mesquite texas, i noticed a large bubble in the right front tire along the seam of the tire. said tire id# dot code a3kt 3mt 3906.the tires had approx 21,250 miles at the time. they have been rotated at least 4 times since i purchased the car and i can show that the tire inflation is checked regularly when i get the oil changed. town east ford told me the tire was not covered under warranty as it was considered road hazard. originally i was told it was due to potholes, then later that it was due to a nail that caused low tire pressure. i was never informed of a nail, nor did they show me the damage. i contend the tire is faulty; i had to replace the tire at my own cost. i am currently sending correspondence to town east ford, continental tire, nhtsa, and ford motor company. *tr
