Ford did the same to my '09 Bullitt Mustang...claiming that the 18" wheels wouldn't allow a spare...
Since the calipers & rotors were the same as a 17" wheeled 'Stang, my solution was a local wrecked-em yard to buy a spare set up from a wrecked GT 'Stang that had 17" wheels....Jack, lug wrench, donut spare, hold down hardware, etc. $100 for peace of mind. (edit) Figure I can limp to a tire store on an odd sized donut spare.
Use the tire goo...buy a new tire pressure sensor. Only one if you're lucky. Some require all 4 to be replaced.
Car makers cheaping out is the main reason...
