Default TPMS From Ebay

I recently swapped rims & tires & purchased the correct sensors from Ebay. I had them installed & I'm having all sorts of fault issues. After installer programmed them I still get faults everyday. Some days all is working fine with no errors but soon a tire drops off triggering the alarm. After parking for a while, it sometimes resets but then another wheel drops off. I'm dropping sometimes 1 to 3 wheels & different ones randomly. Has anyone had this issue & is OEM sensors the only way to fix this.

I bought "OEM" Ford sensors from ebay also, $35/set. I did have one bad sensor in the first set I got, but the seller quickly replaced it. I used them for a year in those wheels and left them in the wheels when I bought aftermarket wheels and tires. For $35 I went ahead and bought another new set for my aftermarket wheels, and all 4 are good so far (it's been 2-3 months)

Bought these 6 weeks ago - programmed correctly first time, no issues since! says they are factory sensors, came in a generic bag, so I am not sure. Very satisfied so far...

Since eBay is a platform, not a Seller, it's impossible to say whether the sensors are good or not.

I bought used OEM Ford sensors with new stems and caps from a seller there. They were a couple dollars more per sensor than the generic, but I have not had any problems with mine so far (6 months).

You probably got the wrong sensors. Post your year of truck and what sensor you got. The 15-20 is pretty much the same truck other than a new front and some other small things but i think the 2015-2017 is a different sensor to the 18+. You also shouldnt have to program them, just install and drive and it will learn

Seller hasn't replied back to me. I bought them 4 months ago but just got them installed last week. Today all 4 tires were reading on my drive to work but 2 dropped off by the time I got there.
