Keith Browning Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I heard a juicy rumor today that Ford is going to increase the warranty on all 2007 cars and trucks. I forget the details as to the time and distance or type. Sorry! It was a long meeting. This is likely to match the competition and help drive sales?

gasgasman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've heard 4yrs 50K. Which is what my Lincoln had. Sad to say. But now-a-days, warranty pays more than CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasman Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Big news release tomorrow. Warranty will be 5/60. Not sure if it will be bumper to "bumper". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysonfordtech Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Good call, yep bumper to bumper. I guess everyone else will be getting a chance to catch up to us diesel techs in warranty hours. HA HA HA. I am soooo glad I decided to go back to college. There will be some serious crying going on by the non diesel techs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmlew Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think the extension is only on the powertrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysonfordtech Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yea I misread it , but it looks like it's a more of a drivetrain then the di warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Quote: Effective with 2007 and subsequent Model Year Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury passenger cars and light trucks sold in the United States, the powertrain warranty coverage period is extended from 3 years / 36,000 miles (Ford/Mercury) and 4 years / 50,000 miles (Lincoln) to 5 years / 60,000 miles (Ford/Mercury) and 6 years / 70,000 miles (Lincoln). Effective with 2007 and subsequent Model Year vehicles, safety restraint coverage is extended from 5 years / 50,000 miles to 5 years / 60,000 miles across all vehicle lines. Full Roadside Assistance benefits (e.g., towing services, lock-out service and fuel-fill assistance) are extended through duration of the 5 years / 60,000 miles (Ford & Mercury) and 6 years / 70,000 (Lincoln only) powertrain warranty coverage period. These warranty coverage changes are in response to Dealers request and will align Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles' powertrain coverages with the present offerings of some of the Company's major Asian competitors.
