Belt Tensioner Pulley - Not Covered by Warranty

My Belt Tensioner Pulley has failed and my local dealer will not replace under warranty. So I emailed Ford Customer Service about the issue. Good thing is they responded. Bad thing is they didn't answer anything. Email Below

Hi xxxx,

Thank you for contacting the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center regarding your 2008 Ford F-250. My name is Charles and I am happy to assist you.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. To clarify this issue, I called J. Wilderman Autoplex and spoke with Service Adviser xxxxx xxxxx. According to her they have not diagnosed your vehicle yet and you just talked on the phone. They also advised you that the Serpentine Belt Tensioner Pulley is not covered by the Powerstroke Diesel Engine warranty. For specific warranty information please refer to your warranty guide available at www.motorcraftservice.com.

At this time, we highly recommend that your vehicle be inspected by your servicing Ford Dealership to determine the cause of any symptoms your vehicle may be experiencing. They have factory trained technicians, comprehensive service information and specialized equipment to help diagnose your vehicle.

To schedule a service appointment please contact your local dealer or visit Official Ford Owner Site | Schedule Vehicle Maintenance, Get Tips, Advice & Coupons and click on the “Locate a Dealer” feature to find contact information for dealers in your area.

Thank you for taking the time to write us.

Sincerely,
Charles
