A good Ford story.

Bought a 1999 Expedition new in C'ville,Va . At 60,000 miles a snap ring in the tranny launched its self and bagged the transmission; 10,000 miles out of warranty. Had it towed back to the dealer in Charlottesville, Va. The dealership, Battlefield Ford, lobbied Ford on my behalf and I got a new transmission under warranty after paying a $450.00 deductable. Ford also extended the warranty on engine and drivetrain to 100,00 miles. Used this @ 75,000 for head gasket replacement without question, $50.00 deductable.

Bought a new 2007 F-150 that has about 17,000 now. No problems.

Guess I'm lucky.

My Hondas have been more trouble, but that is another story.
