Graven Report post Posted August 24, 2014 1,300 miles & ran over a nail. Fortunately I put air in the tire (did not use the rescue pump and sealer). Drove the car to my dealer who fixed the flat ($18). He informed me ( confirmed in owners manual) if I had used the sealant, the tire stem and TPMS would have to be replaced ( est $200). I did some research (Googled) "Slime" sealant and the Slime website says they have a Rescue Pump w/sealant that is approved for use with TPMS (tire pressure monitoring systems). I checked mine and it's a Ford Motor product not Slime.I'm now looking for a spare tire kit, in case lightening strikes twice. I can't remember when I've had a flat prior to this one.

hermans Report post Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) TPMS units are $34. apiece for the Fusion. I just bought 4 of them. Many of us have replaced the air/sealant units with temporary spares. I had a sidewall blowout and was glad I bought one. Edited August 24, 2014 by hermans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murphy Report post Posted August 25, 2014 The rescue pump has two modes. One of them operates as a regular air pump while the other one injects the "sealer". I don't plan to ever use the sealer mode. I carry plug patches and a can of slime in case I can't find the leak to plug it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
