OK, I never said a "shop mechanic" was in any way an engineer however many engineering designs fail miserably when put in actual use practices. I can tell you of many. One can read all you want about the process FoMoCo has gone through to come up with an "algorithm" to DETECT an issue, not...

I don't see how a computer programming can detect a future/soon bearing failure issue. Possibly something related to the "knock sensor" so when the rod bearing starts to make noise it's detected or maybe oil pressure loss? Keep in mind, I was a shop mechanic in early 70's and there were...

I too have an extended warranty; a FoMoCo. ESP Premiumcare Warranty. IF FoMoCo. does do a "program" for the engine it is only for the ENGINE and only for an issue related as stated in any such "program". Your extended warranty will cover much more than just the engine. So no, don't expect...

The idea of long term resale value hasn't happened on vehicles in the past where FoMoCo has given extended warranties for an issue. If you have something that is warranted say for 10yr/150,000 miles what would you rather have, that or the standard 5yr/60,000 mile? Sell a vehicle at 5yrs and...

The recall is not for replacing the engine assembly as many are thinking/saying FoMoCo should do. I'm saying to those that think/feel FoMoCo should replace the engine before anything happens don't count on it. Best we can hope for is a "program" that will extend the warranty on the engine for...

Take it from me, I retired a few years ago after 25 years as a Ford Dealer Service Advisor, that's not the way it will happen. I have an Early build 2022 Maverick Hybrid (built in Feb 22). Unless it is found to be a major SAFETY concern FoMoCo will most likely have a "program" (not a recall)...

I had the VIN number for over a week, I was able to see it had been built online. I stopped by the dealer to chat and asked the salesman just how the "transition offer" worked, would it be a refund from Ford after the sale are at time of purchase. Salesman looked for the certificate, found it...

You are correct, a dealer does not have to provide it to you but why wouldn't they? What kind dealer wouldn't want to be helpful/open with a customer?

I got a copy of the information about the (roll over) Transition Private Offer Certificate for my 2024 Hybrid XL. It shows FoMoCo's benefit offer of $2,500 (Hybrids get the higher amount due to being charged $1,500 for the Hybrid option). It shows My name, my address, the Program number, the...

- Ford will most likely not be replacing any engines unless the problem occurs. What has happened in the past Ford will have a "special program" (not a recall) where Ford will extend the warranty for maybe 10 years and 150,000 miles. If an engine failure occurs in that time/mileage Ford will...

Tim, the information you have given over the years and you continue to give is appreciated more than you can ever know. It's great that you continue to give your time to those of us that didn't buy from you. Thank you so much!

Dealers are having a problem hiring/keeping mechanics. Backlog making appointments is normal. At my dealer there is about a month backlog to get an oil change and longer for any type of other service. Old way of doing things is over, service is bad in almost all businesses and everywhere!

Got it also, my guess is they will continue the cutting of the grille and cutting holes in the under engine cover and a reprogramming of the pcm. Reprogramming may allow the "knock sensor" to be sensitive to engine internal knock or possible minor loss of oil pressure. Either way internal...

You are correct. If dealer employee was negligent then maybe an issue. Insurance follows the car in most States, most insurance Co. Loan your car to a friend and he has a wreck caused by him most likely your insurance and your accident claim on your recordl
