Anyone buying extended warranty?

[Bobinmi]

Is this the 50 over dealer invoice Granger is offering in another thread? I forked over a lot more than that when I bought my Edge four years ago with a 72 month/60k mi plan.

Yes through granger

Its not ford, but managed through the dealership transparently. I drop off and get a loaner from the dealer. bumper to bumper - but not wear items, brakes, sheet metal. All mechanical and electrical is covered.

The bold type I highlighted is important to me with multiple reports of bad soldering at various parts of the wiring harness. It must be contributing to reports of dead vehicles in garages.

After over 2 dozen BRAND NEW car/truck/motorhome purchases, without ever buying an extended warranty, I DID buy one for my 2022 Maverick through Granger...5 years/75k 100 deductible for 655. How can you beat that...?

So in reality because the extended warranty starts at the date of purchase you bought a 2yr/39,000 mile extended warranty for $655. The manufactures warranty will pick up the first 3/36,000 then the extended kicks in. Not a bad price but not great either.

starts at the date you purchased the VEHICLE....BUT it is MUCH better than any dealer will give you.

Hot hands in a dice game! I'm a gambler and letting it ride with just the factory warranty. Come on Ford don't let me down!

I purchased through Granger and have a question for Granger that I'm not getting a clear answer on. When I clicked on my FORD Pass, I do see my ESP shown. When I click on Service history, there is a comment about a service for air conditioning/heating by Granger for a cost of $2,020. I've had no service and I don't understand why that is shown on my FORD Pass. Interesting that my cost for the ESP was $1,010 . . . which is half of this $2,020 that shows as a service history charge. Will you, and anyone else who has purchased through Granger, please check your FORD pass service history and let me know if anything shows up. I don't want inaccurate information about my Maverick listed anywhere. Thank you.

"Thanks for the email. When we processed your service contract we are required to enter it through our dealer management system. We have 3 options for transactions: a car sale, repair order or parts ticket. Ford allows us to process this as a repair order and our dealer management system and Ford are miscategorizing the transaction as an air conditioning / heater concern and then are doubling the transaction price.

This is only reflecting in your Ford pass incorrectly and is not on your warranty or repair history. We've been in contact with Ford on resolving the issue but it hasn't been fixed obviously. "

I have not received a reply to either of my two emails since I received this explanation which I find is not acceptable.

Anyone buying them?

I did for the first time in my life at age 69. All anyone has to do is read this forum and look at the news. Ford has big problems with reliability. Nobody on the forum or anywhere else has 3 years of driving this truck to tell anybody how great the vehicle is. Tell me that in 3 years and 60k miles.

Just today, not counting the Mustang EV recall yesterday.

If you can afford the warranty, buy it.

I'm waiting closer to when the ford warranty runs out to decided on the extended. We'll see how these first 3 years go first.

I was told you can't buy an ESP warrantee from any dealers out of state if you live in Florida. Also keep in mind when you hit 60K miles, your 8, or 10 year warrantee is over! even if your truck is only 4 years old. If I have problems, I will trade it in before my 3 year 36K is up. (P. S.) in Florida they want $2500 for the ESP.

Ford Warranties are great. I usually get the Premium Care.
You DO NOT have to purchase the warranty until just under 36,000 miles or 35 months. Different Dealerships have different markups on the warranty's. So shop around. The best dealership I last used was ZEIGLER CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP AND FORD PLAINWELL . You can save $100's.

***This is an EXECELLENT reminder. You do not have to purchase the warranty while sitting in the finance office. (It doesn't even start until 3/36k) You should drive the car first then decide. No, do not believe his BS that the price is special for today only. That SAME warranty will gladly be sold to you by any other Ford dealer or by calling Granger. (I just did and saved me $100's)

**** Same here. I have always avoided warranties but went with one on my Hybrid. There is too much unknown and I doubt I will be able to get much done under the hood myself. My dealer wanted $3400 for 7/100k, $100 ded. premium warranty. I went through Granger (again) and got it for $1150.

Nope. If I like the Mav, I'll order another and sell the first as soon as it arrives.

I originally purchased a 3rd party warranty through my dealer but I didnt understand that at the time. I had it transfered to a ford premium care for 8/125000 with a 100 dollard deductible.

OK here we go again..... so I'll say it again. BAD IDEA, you can ignore the facts if you want but here they are: 55% of people who purchased a warranty never touched it, and those who did saved less on repairs than they paid for the contract (Consumer Reports6.29.21)

Mine shows a $1200 Air Conditioning service. I believe I paid $1250. Honestly, I don't feel like that hurts the value of your vehicle. You have their response to your email as proof if you needed to fight for anything in the future, and they saved you a lot of money.
