So my truck was hesitating the other day so I figured that there was a coil problem... well I got it there and they said that It ended up being a wiring harness that was rubbing on something and eventually shorted out one of my coils. Fine. now here's my question... I bought the truck used with 37k on it (its an '05) in february. I bought the 1800 buck extended warranty for 4 years and the dealership is telling me that this wouldnt be covered in my warranty???
Need some advise please.

 

Is your extended warranty a Ford ESP warranty? According to the folks over at Ford ESP it's up to the dealer as to whether something should be covered (that's what ESP told me when I called them on a separate issue).

I'd say try another dealer if your dealer won't provide coverage. Although they might be counting this issue as "normal wear and tear".

 

yes its a ford warranty... and I kinda wish I would have done my research because I paid 1800 bucks for the warranty and on fords website I cant find one more than 840... equivalent to what I have of course. I sell Floors and the owner wants a new one so Im hoping she will make something happen tomorrow....

 

BTW this is southern ford in Pearland that I'm dealing with... since your in houston.

 

But whats not "normal wear and tear" I bought the extra warranty aswell but I'm thinking I shouldn't have. I would think your problem should be covered unless you installed something that changed the location of the wiring then it would be your problem.

 

I installed an amp that touches no other wires.

 

Did they tell you that's why they won't cover it, because you installed an AMP?

I know two people that have worked at that dealer and no longer do (one a mechanic the other in Finance) because they didn't like the way it was run.

 

they have not given me a straight answer yet...

 

where did you get your edge?? In town or online?

 

whats with your Nasa Logo??? I work in Webster and am just curious

 

I got my Edge used on ebay from a guy up in Magnolia.

My location says "Houston" but I'm really in League City...I work at NASA.

 

Gotcha... Wish me luck on this dealership crap

 

Well I talked them into covering it with the warranty.... so I went and paid my 200 bucks. all seems well but Im just waiting to see... Bridge does your edge make better mpg on 45 or are we just screwed? I actually have been taking 528 to Missouri City cause its a relaxing drive in the evening

 

I think it would if I kept my foot off it, but the exhaust sounds so good and performance is so much better that I get on it waaay to often. But, my mileage is holding at pre-modification levels of around 12.5 to 13 mixed and 16-17 hwy. However, at $3.60+ for the 93 Octane, we're screwed...like the Rockets

 

yeah theres a poll on here where people are getting 380+ to a tank(30 Gal)... I have yet to see 330... some day maybe since Im not going to be 80% highway...
