Likely they were making a better commission, and the aftermarket warranties are seldom (ever?) as good as factory backed, both in terms of cost and coverage.

@Darryl - Your dealership has it right. I'd agree, it seems short sighted to not accept the warranty. I am still questioning whether a dealership can legitimately opt out of warranty repairs for warranty work that is supposed to be honored at "any Ford or Lincoln dealer", as the feedback in...

Due to the "auto-magic" transmission selecting the best ratio.. It's efficient that way.

@MakinDoForNow Wow - No idea they could opt out of a Ford sponsored extended warranty. I noticed in your post the feedback was "it is not uncommon for some dealers to claim". Anyone can make a claim, but that doesn't mean it's legitimate. I took a look at Ford's website, and it appears the...

@710-oil-614 Obviously your dealer can't make that as a legitimate complaint. I wonder why they don't offer to sell it. Did they ever say?

In Canada, isn't it a "Canadian Tunep eh"... 🎅

Whether they sell the warranty or not is irrelevant. A Ford warranty like offered through Granger AKA the Ford Protect, requires a Ford dealer via a contract to honor the warranty, provided the required repair is legitimate. While a dealer may not provide the "best" service, they risk their...

Good point. Could be a difference...

Are planning on selling the print file so people can print the product at home? If so, you might have a better shot for selling it cheap, so that there isn't an incentive for people to go through the work of developing their own version. As far as a patent, cost / benefit is unlikely for...

The normal operating engine coolant temperature for your Maverick with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine typically ranges between 190°F to 210°F, so you aren't far off. If it's cold up there, you're more likely to be on the low side of the temperature range.

If only you could buy one instead of getting on a wait list...

A good friend who worked as a Porsche tech would do German tune ups. Customer would complain about the way the car ran, he'd take it out on a sparsely used hunk of Interstate and WOT through the gears and that was usually all that was needed. I do the same on my motorcycle, aka the blow out...

He doesn't need help... L U S T Love Utility of Supercab Truckletts. It cleans up when you realize it's an acronym... :sneaky:

@MakinDoForNow A bold, innovative idea. But... I suggest you don't hold your breath until it's implemented... :sneaky:

Good point. Some "nanny state" safety measures can have unintended PITA consequences... :wink:

Considering that you can buy the warranty online , you don't actually purchase the Ford backed warranty from a dealer but you might purchase it at a dealership. Granger publishes their prices based on term length, mileage and other factors, but do dealers add a premium for them typing in...

On my '25 if the eBrake is engaged, I can shift it without a pedal press, but if not I need to press the brake pedal. I think the idea is to not have the car go forward without the driver being prepared to stop....

Yep, It could be a tire defect causing the issue, but it is as or more likely to be an out of balance that perhaps wasn't done right in the first place. In either case the dealer should take care of it, if you are going that route. I was reacting to your dealer avoidance comments with my prior...

Gotcha - Still it's much more likely to be an out of balance tire/wheel as others have noted. It doesn't take much for vibration at high speed. Good luck.

The dealer would be short sighted if they give you a problem to do warranty work. Dealers make most of their money on service, and warranty work is an opportunity to earn your business. Having moved around a lot, I've seldom went to a dealer where I bought a car and never had a problem with...
