Description of the problem | Tl* the contact leased a 2015 ford explorer. The contact stated that there was a failure with the tpms not functioning properly. The dealer sent a mechanic to the contact's location who took the vehicle to the dealer and replaced the front driver side wheel sensor. The contact noticed that as the mileage increased, there was a strong odor emitting into the interior of the vehicle. The odor caused the contact and other occupants to have migraine headaches that required medical treatment. The contact was to check with an independent source and the manufacturer for odor testing. The dealer was notified of the strong fumes and indicated that they were not able to replicate the condition to provide a permanent remedy. The vehicle was not repaired.
