For the last year I have been fighting a bad TPMS in one of my tires. It was reading 5-8psi lower than the actual tire pressure. I took my Explorer into a dealer last January to have a recall done and mentioned this problem and asked if they would look at it. They came back and told me that they retrained the TPMS and all was well but I needed to drive it a ways. Somehow I was skeptical of this. Naturally the problem was still there.
Fast forward to last week. I had made a appointment at Larry Miller Ford to have this checked out and was ready for a argument with them about it. When I pulled it the service writer grabbed a tire pressure gauge and checked the tires and then looked at the reading on the dash. He then went and got another gauge and checked them again before pulling it into the service bay. He came back and said that they had retrained the sensors and that the problem was still there and that they would need it for a day since they didn't have a TPMS in stock. I told them that I would have to come back. So this morning I showed up and they got me right in. A hour later and my Explorer was ready to come home. The dash display looked strange with all the tire pressures reading the proper psi.
Now onto my next problem, paint bubbles on the hood. The service advisor told me that the problem was forwarded to Ford to see what they want to do. He mentioned that on some vehicles that they replaced the hood and on some they are just repainting them.
So we will see when they give me a call.
