TPMS Failure...Warranty?

[wireman]

You are well covered with warranty, insurance and maintenance:

factory warranty (36 month, 3 years whichever occurs first)

EG Assurance

Premier Vehicle warranty and service contract for oil changes and other regular maintenance

Just a suggestion which you can ignore but if I were you I would look into canceling EG Assurance if you can get most of your money back and instead purchase the FORD Extended Service Plan (ESP) from one of the Ford discount internet providers like Granger Ford (@Granger Ford), Zeigler Ford (I used their PAYINFULL PROMO CODE to save $250), or Flood Ford, etc. I do not know what EG Assurance provides but if it’s better than Ford ESP that would be the reason to keep EG.

I would also cancel your 3rd party warranty. Probably more money than the Ford ESP. I don't think there is a good 3rd party warranty.

I see a lot of dealers pushing 3rd party stuff. I think they make more money selling them.

My TPMS sensor failed in July , 2023 Big Bend. My dealer replaced it under warranty no question.

Is there any chance that they damaged the sensor during the tire change?

Did they drive the car after rotating the tires? The module needs some miles or time to read the sensors.

No. The sensor had been going off and resetting itself for about 1 week. Then for the last two weeks it was off. When I dropped it off this morning for the update on the infotainment system and a diagnostic, the service writer said unless was done through damage, it should be covered. That's not how they were talking last Friday. I will find out later today. They odd thing is the BCM still shows the left front wheel not available. The sensor that was malfunctioning was rotated to the rear. I still think it could be the BCM. Now is wait and see.
Thanks

Update! They covered the sensor and did the CSP update. How simple was that?
What really irritates me is they sang a completely different song on Friday. It felt like they were extorting money from me. I had a different service writer today who said if there's no damage then it should be covered. He said they opened it up. No damage. No charge.
On Friday, the tire mechanic just said it needs a diagnostic instead of looking at the sensor. Maybe the scrub team was working on Friday being that it was a holiday weekend and maybe the intelligent ones were off.
Bottom line is I am grateful for the end result.

Which dealer in Albuquerque? I bought mine in Los Lunas because they didn't have the $5,000 markup that Power Ford had.

You bought from Melloy. I bought a Ranger from them. They were good.

Actually the warranty is good but after reading the responses to this thread, I can see how I was overcharged for the package. I have looked into Granger for a FSP and a maintenance agreement. I can get a much better deal with them. The refund will more than pay for it.
I am so very pleased to be a part of this community. I have always been on one when had Chevy's and my STI/WRX rally cars. I still go to the Subaru one for my wife's Crosstrek.

Update! I went with the Flood Ford FSP. It was the Premium Care plan. 100000 miles 7 years. They were $150.00 cheaper than Granger. Both with using my Ford Pass points. $100. deductible. The EG plan I bought was for $4500. 90000 with $50 deductible. Insane.
I will now shop for a maintenance plan. The EG was $1250 but only 4 years and 3 oil changes.

Thanks again for the information on these extended warranties. HOOAH!

Yep those non Ford warranties are very often not a good value and purchasing the Ford warranty at most dealerships often is non competitive when compared to @Granger Ford, Flood Ford, Zeigler Ford prices.
