Yup. There was a shift in pronunciation in England in the wake of the Industrial Revolution as many working class people became wealthy. They introduced more nonrhotic elements to the language ultimately resulting in the type of accent we associate with the greater London area. Prior to then both the American and English upper classes spoke with rhotic elements (pronouncing the “r” in hard, park, etc). That was the initial diversion.

Or so I’ve read anyway. My mother and her family were/are all Scottish. Why Americans talked so odd always mildly interested me. ;)
Going a bit further “off topic” then, it seems that we, in the US speak “ye olde English” and the people in Britain speak “Modern English”. It turns out the same is true between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and Continental Portuguese. They use some older forms and words in Brazilian Portuguese (in addition to the introduction of words of African and native South American decent).

Fallas! I searched for this post to get a feedback as I was going to use mine for the first time. I was even going to brag about it having a 10 ft power cord and attachments for smaller tires or air mattresses. But no! My story ends up horrible. I've deflated the tire considerably because I intended to use the embed sealant. I was tired of adding air everyday because of a leak.
It was going fine until the gauge jump from 70 to 100 psi. Followed by a noise as if it was asking for help and then - smoke. Thanks God I was paying attention and if was not sitting inside the trunk. See images below.

I’m assuming you’ll be going to your dealer. Let us know the outcome!

Take it all in to the dealer and get it replaced — presuming your car is still under warranty.

Yeah, there are a myriad of variations in English English as well. Let alone adding in the the numerous variations spoken in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland ?? . It’s a wonder the English language functions at all. As proof: My paternal grandfather was from Cornwall and spoke a variety of Cockney labor class English and whatever variety of English was spoken in Drumheller, Alberta at the time. His wife arrived from Russia as a very small child and didn’t learn English until she was in grade School. My mother was from Scotland. It’s a wonder anyone could understand each other. ;)

I actually called FORD after my post and after explaining 3x why I was calling and verirying my identity, milage and if I needed roadside assistance...Uff! The guy said the same thing - to take it to where I bought the car. Sadly I'm not planning another trip to FL until my daughter gets a long weekend holiday. I'm going to try my luck locally.

I've used mine a few times with no issues.

From the residue on the bottom it looks like the sealant was leaking. Are you sure that was smoke and not atomized sealant goop?

Any dealer should be able to replace it under warranty.

Actually, I’d think any dealer would be able to handle it (hopefully under warranty!)

I agree with what the others said: if the kit's compressor has failed, it should be replaced under warranty by any Ford dealer in the U.S.

The repair sealant is only for temporary repairs. After a successful repair, you can drive up to 120 miles at up to 50mph before getting the tire properly repaired or replaced. I think the goop may need to be cleaned off the wheel, and the TPMS sensor and valve stem should be replaced, as well.

This is from the 2021 manual starting here:
https://www.fordservicecontent.com/...A&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=web

The repair portion of the kit is one time use only. After you've performed any temporary repair with it, you need to replace the white plastic canister and its attached hose. It's available from Amazon, Walmart, etc from the original manufacturer, Slime:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07329WT8F

If your tire has a leak, you'll want to get it professionally patched. Discount Tire can do this for you, for instance, as long as the hole is far enough away from the sidewall. Otherwise, the tire should be replaced.
