I've actually had this problem since I bought my car brand new. I have one of the first 05's that came to Idaho and its full of bugs...very irritating but Ford has been good to me. The sudden impact or sharp stopping of your car may have tweaked the sensor somehow, otherwise I dont see any other cause. I'd just take it in to the dealer and have them check it out.

Did hitting a dog do any damage to your car? It a cat doing 120mph and it put a hole the size of a basket ball through my bumper (thus why I have an aftermarket front end) lol
