Ford extends warranty for engines and transmissions

Ford is adding an extra 25,000 miles to its warranty coverage on both its new and refurbished petrol powertrains and transmissions as part of sweeping reforms to its service structure in North America. The warranty coverage now lasts for three years or up to 100,000 miles where previously it was only three years or 75,000 miles.

The new warranty covers any petrol engine or transmission sold after the first of April and applies when the sale is made by a Ford dealership or factory-authorized distributor – not when the covered parts are installed in a vehicle. New assemblies must also be registered with Ford in order to obtain full coverage.

Ford has also confirmed that prices for the service engines and transmissions are unchanged even with the improved warranty coverage, reports WardsAuto.

The new extension does not cover diesel engines either sold new or as service units. The diesel-engine warranty remains at two years, with unlimited mileage.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. YAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.... B****ES.....

    I love how just yesterday, VW announced that they would reduce their 4 year bumper to bumper to 3 years and reduce the mileage to "compete with domestic brands" and today ford ups their warrantee. very nice.

    In all fairness... it's well deserved. ford's definitely got solid drive trains, and the newer ones are really good engines.

    gus; I know some one who's put 300,000 mi on their 2006 F150.

    there are people.

    but you're right, if theyre willing to do 100k in 3 years then why not 4 or 5 years?

    Wow - isnt the norm 3 years/36,000 miles?
    If you can drive 100,000 in 3 years you are driving way too much.
    This might all be for show since I doubt many people will hit that mark ...

    Well - they may run into a lot of fleet car fixing ...

    there is confusion on these comments...it is 100,00 miles, not kms. that is 160,000 km. so it beats GM
