It’s clearly not Ford’s liability. That’s why they essentially told the OP he’s out of luck.Most glaringly, in my opinion, is that the tow agreement is between the driver and Ford as part of the vehicle purchase contract. Ford can subcontract performance of that agreement to anyone it chooses but the agreement is with Ford. Ford agreed to provide roadside tows, Ford provided a roadside tow, and the tow damaged the car. I am not a lawyer, but this clearly appears to be Ford’s liability.
The tow company doesn’t work for Ford, they’re a 3rd party with their own insurance policies (also not paid by Ford).
Again, you technically could go after Ford, but that would be the most difficult of the legal battles. You’d have to prove some sort of negligence on Fords part in terms of who they let tow.
Or you could go directly after the people who actually caused the damage! (Path of least resistance for sure).
Ford typically has very detailed and very clear legal language for this kinda thing that states a lot of “we cannot be held liable, blah blah” in their terms and conditions.
If you have trouble sleeping tonight, read these terms and conditions. It’s a cure for insomnia:
