Tire Pressure Monitoring System Problems of Ford Explorer Sport Trac

In late August, 2008, I was involved in a single vehicle accident along interstate 64 between richmond and charlottesville, va due to sudden lose of air pressure in the left front tire of my 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I was able to maintain control of my vehicle and safely get to the side of the road without hitting other vehicles or injuring anyone. I had my car towed to a Ford dealer in louisa, va. After being assured that I could drive the vehicle with the spare tire, I returned it to williamsburg Ford, the original dealer. The tire and the air pressure sensor had to be replaced at a cost to me of $365. 58. On October 20, 2008, the air pressure warning light indicated another problem with tire pressure. I took the vehicle back to williamsburg Ford. It was determined that the valve stem in the left rear tire was damaged and had to be replaced at a cost of $15. 00.
