2021 Ford Ranger Warranty Work.. Again.

That's the opposite if that Ford commercial where the dealer shows up at the house to take their car for service. It would be funny if the commercial just had the guy drop off oil and a filter then leave.
I was going to replace my Mercedes horn with a train horn until I found out the front end had to come off. You would think on a truck it wouldn't be so buried.
That seems unlikely. My Alero is recalled for an alteration of the key. I said I was fine just bringing them the key and the recall card, but the dealer isn't interested because the dealer is fishing for other work.
I wasn't able to find the US version, but it is my understanding that it works in the same way.
"For a service part and accessory replacement or repair under warranty, the part or accessory receives thebalance of the original part or accessory warranty and does not start over"
This is a fairly standard industry practice.
Dealer work is usually 12 mo/ 12k miles on stuff like that.
That’s good. Honestly once (if) this happens again, I’ll just throw a much louder horn on myself.
Oh, it’s very much so buried!
Rental puts me out $250 or $400 if I want a small truck like mine. I would just replace the parts myself in that case.
Stick some Hellas on it. My Subaru is blaring with them. Make sure you use at least 12ga wire for power and ground though.
The warranty does not renew. When It hits whatever milage it's over regardless of what was repaired
Parts replaced under the NVLW in which the customer does not financially participate have a 12mo/12K mile service part warranty.
It's a Ford though, so it needs one of those Model T "ah-HOOO-gaaa" horns.
Love it when I know the policy
That's the way it is with many major brands.
Its not OK, but it is reality.
I have a Jeep Cherokee bought on trade, knowing it had a back ordered part due in July '23. Latest update from my Parts Dept is January 2024. With the automakers strike involving parts distribution, it may get pushed even further back.
My input, expect a vehicle to need warranty repairs, expect it to be down multiple days. Buying a manufacturer warranty may get you a rental while your car is down.
Pick your poison.
Car industry is a mess right now.
They had to clarify it a couple years ago again with batteries replaced under the NVLW. You don't get the, at the time, 3yr full 10mo prorate, warranty on those batteries. The labels were changed to have the warranty info be on a pull-off label over another label saying to refer to the warranty manual for coverage. Lots of angry people, but this is Ford's playground and we are just tossing their sand around.Love it when I know the policy

Why would you have to rent a truck? Turo has cars for rent for cheap.
Or just get a Uhaul pickup for $19.95 a day plus 69 cents a mile.
Spot on. It sure is
For towing our trailer.

Just curious, is this for work?
