Hydro Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I was visiting a F150 site and somebody said that 2 different dealers told him Ford upped their PT warranty to 6-100,000. I curious if anybody here has heard that? I think it's great if they did because almost every other manufacture offers this.

fordtech1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Why ? Although it is great for customers, it sucks for techs. Warranty times are low enough on a low mileage car. The more miles and age do not make that same job easier. The techs will get paid the same at 5k miles vs 99k miles. The vehicles are better and 100k miles isn't a lot anymore, but pulling a transmission with rusted up exhaust for 4 hours pay is not as glourious as it sounds.

I curious if anybody here has heard that? I think it's great if they did because almost every other manufacture offers this. Offering = available. Not included. All he wants is for you to come in. Ask him if you can pet a unicorn if you come in today. I bet he says yes http://www.f150forum.com/f38/ford-changing-warranty-200367/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of the low warranty times having been a Ford parts manager and warranty admin, example 5486a .2 for a sway bar link. I had no problems using "M" time when needed and clocked properly.

coupe3w Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I guess those tech's working over at KIA must be getting screwed. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Ahh yes, M time is great, but it sure drives up the 126. And most warranty admins will not do that because of the rammifications for doing so. IT doesnt matter if you document it or not, audits are still audits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought about that aspect, but it makes sense. Having lived in Cleveland, Ohio for a good part of my life, I'm very familiar with rust.
