Re: Ford Warranty
ol' yeller wrote: It sounds to me like the dealer is being purposely vague or even misleading about the factory warranty in order to sell you an extended warranty which is a great profit center for them. Of course any new vehicle would come with a warranty from the manufacturer on the engine. I prefer not to deal with sleazy people,especially when large amounts of my money are involved. . I have not put any money on this, i think that what happened is as follows. The finance officer asked a service tech what was covered under a drivetrain warranty so she would have that information for customers. The tech is thinking drivetrain and not powertrain and tells her that the drivetrain is only the transmission, axles and driveshaft. Voila, a drivetrain warranty becomes limited in the mind of someone who shouldknow better. Having owned an F350 and understanding the warranty, I am pretty sure that the information I am getting is not accurate, but, as I say, the RV industry has it's share of anomalies and I am trying to be certain that this is not one of them. No, not John's RV. We bought our 5th Wheel there. This is another dealer in our metro area.732Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford Warranty
No, I have not bought it yet, I have no monetary interest in it yet. I don't want to "settle" for whatever I get, I want to be informed on what the warranty covers. I am looking for folks who may have already bought a Forester or something similar to ask them about their experience with the warranty and what theirs covers. I am told two different things by two different people in the same company and am trying to resolve the contradiction. In essence the question is: Does a Ford Warranty on a new Motor Home cover only the drive components with the engine included or without the engine included? Someone out there has purchased one of these and knows. I know this sounds really ridiculous, but this will be a new experience for me and people who own RVs are the best way to get insight. There are many anomalies in the RV business and I just want to be sure this is not one of them. Thank you everyone for your help and responses.732Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford Warranty
The issue is that I have not yet made the purchase. It has been ordered, but not yet delivered. I don't have access to a VIN number and I am trying to sort out conflicting information given to me by the Management at the Dealership and the Finance Officer at the dealership. They disagree and I am caught in the middle, so BEFORE I purchase it, I would like to have complete information on the Ford warranty that comes with the Forrester unit. It makes utterly no sense to me that Ford would not have a warranty on their engine, but that is what I am being told. I would like to know this before I consider purchasing any additional warranties.333Views0likes0CommentsRe: Blown tire advic3
We took a trip last year to Camp Lejeune. We had a 13 Keystone Raptor with about 7000 miles. The tires looked almost new and were in fact about 3 years old. One shredded forty miles out. We changed it and by the time we got about 60 miles down the road. a second one shredded. I put 7 new ones on at the next stop.528Views0likes0CommentsFord Warranty
We recently sold our Raptor 5th Wheel and F350 truck and are replacing it with a new Class C which will be delivered later this month. It will be a Forest River Forester on a Ford E450 Chassis. We have gotten conflicting information at our dealership and rep about the warranty that comes with a new Ford Class C. One party there tells us that there is a 3 yr bumper to bumper on Ford installed items plus a 5 year/60K warranty on the drivetrain which includes only the transmission, driveshaft and axles and not the engine. Another party there tells us there is a 3 yr bumper to bumper and 5 yr 60K powertrain warranty, which includes engine, transmission, drive shaft and axles. This seems correct, but for some reason, I cannot find any verifying information. Does anyone have any suggestions or insight? Obviously, this is not inspiring my confidence in my dealership.7.3KViews0likes24Comments
