Ford has slipped a bunch in my eyes, especially after two weeks ago. My 3.5 ecoboost threw a code and went into limp mode. It was a worn cam chain (only 70K miles...), and they had a service bulletin out on it. The SB specifically states that it was covered under the emissions warranty, which is 8/80K. Dealer ran it thru OASIS, warranty coverage denied. They wanted $2500+ to repair it. I told them I'd take it to a Chevy dealer and trade it first. My salesman overheard this conversation, took it to the dealership owner, and we struck a deal. It will only cost me $800 to get it fixed, and its in the shop now. It shouldn't cost me anything, according to their service bulletin.
This is the 3rd time Ford has denied warranty coverage on items that should have been covered. One was a $1400 repair for a 6.0 F250 for a bad FICM, which should be covered under the 5/60K drivetrain warranty. Ford denied it because I live in a county that does not have EPA emissions checks. If I lived in Cleveland or somewhere EPA mandates emissions checks, it would be covered, so says the dealer (different dealer than above). I think the dealer was blowing smoke up my tailpipe on that one.
All of the truck manufacturers are necessary evils, just pick the one that you think will screw you the least.
