Car Shield is a legal scam. The Feds just settled with them for their arbitrary denial of claims. In theory, they're supposed to change, but since their business model was hiding behind the fine print in their contracts I'm kinda dubious, adding in the fact that the Trump administration doesn't give a shit about consumer protections.
The answer to whether get an ESP warranty is determined by how long are you going to keep your Maverick. Getting a 10 year ESP will guarantee if anything needs repairing, or replacing, it will only cost you $100 for parts, and labor by Ford which has all the programs to recalabrate what needed replacement. Also keep your truck 7 years, then sell it with a 3 years left on the ESP transferable to the next owner with the same 3 years warranty you had when you bought it new. Dealers, and shops today charge over $150 an hour, just for labor.
OR, you can get a pro-rated refund if you sell it and don't have any claims (at least if you buy it through Zeigler Ford. Dunno about anywhere else.)
As long as it's a Ford ESP, it doesn't matter where or what Ford dealership it was purchased at, it's transferable, or pro rated if you trade your truck in.
Your assuming there is even going to be a repair bill. My two 16 year old dodges have not needed any repairs. Only normal maintenance items. Iam hoping our maverick is the same.
16 years, A "Chrysler product". That proves the Existence of God
Lol, they have been awesome! Selling the van this spring since its approaching 200,000 miles. The ram iam hoping to get at least another 5 years out of it. Bought brand new. Oh, I also have a 54 year old Plymouth, still runs and looks like a champ! Not one recall in 54 years lol.
I've traded a couple F150's that I purchased the warranty for. When the dealer asks if there is anything wrong with it, I tell them "No, and it has the Ford Protect warranty so run it through your shop." In both cases I got a pro-rated refund because they would rather sell a new warranty to the next buyer than pass along mine for nothing.
I would add that if you have not yet gone past the factory miles/time warranty, the purchased warranty should be totally refundable. There may be a paperwork or filing fee, but you have not called the purchased warranty into action and they had no exposure.
