frenchs_33 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 My thought is that since the reason Ford's chip shortage is because the head decision makers thought COVID was going to keep them from seller vehicles. They then canceled their orders for chips, but continued to advertise their new vehicles. Knowing that Ford did not have enough chips to make those vehicles. So now vehicles sit in open uncovered parking lots collecting rust and not being stored in accordance to Ford's long term storage guidance in their manual. So I would say that giving an extended warranty should not be a big deal if they stand behind their product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The warranty doesn’t start u til the vehicle is sold, and there is no difference in a truck sitting in Michigan vs sitting in your driveway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchs_33 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 I was just on a different forum and it was mention that Ford is looking into giving $500 off or a 2 yr service. Have you heard of anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchs_33 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Also a good reason for extending the warranty is because the vehicles are sitting and could be chewed on by rodents and then missed once shipped. How is Ford handling those type of issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Ford handling those type of issues? That's a big concern these days. In my case, the truck would be inside my garage 95% of the time where the sun and air pollution are not destroying the paint and interior.

Khayes82 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Same thoughts here… there is a slight difference in where it sits. Mine would be in a garage in Georgia versus sitting in Dearborn in the snow and ice during winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 So, instead of wishing for it, negotiate for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
