A question here.
I bought the extended warranty for my Ford 6.7L diesel.
So if Ford won't warranty the warranty will the worthless warranty welcome willful woebegone warranty websites who watch for willing owners with warranties which were worthless?????
I remain so confused. :h
Speaking of warranties, any idea how much value the standard warranty factors into the retail price of a vehicle? There are new car buyers that knowingly void their warranties and would gladly pay less money for a non-warranted vehicle. Just curious.
Two good questions here.
As to extended warranty coverage from Ford, I do not see the value when we are discussing the HPFP debacle. Ford Motor Company is denying the 5 yr/100,000 mile warranty coverage on these repairs. Why would Ford Motor Company honor the Extended Warranty when they won't honor the base warranty?
As to the dollar value of the standard factory warranty, no one outside of Ford would know that number. But one thing is certain, when we buy our new trucks, we BUY the warranty. It is not free. Ford has built that mythical dollar amount into the manufacturing cost of the vehicle. It is more like an insurance policy that the owners are paying for up front. That fact certainly rubs salt in the wound when Ford pulls the weasel act and refuses to warranty the repair.
Regards
