What would have it cost

Here we are on a forum debating what is and isn’t covered, imagine having to do this with Ford claiming a repair isn’t covered

Additionally, the battery/electric drivetrain warranty cannot be extended with the Ford ESP. This is why I keep waffling on whether to get one or not. ??

I got the extended warranty when I bought the car because of all the other tech that can die. Sure, I know the insurance company expects that they’ll make money, but given the rising cost of everything, I think it was a reasonable deal. (I didn’t pay full price.)

I wonder what components are classified as powertrain versus battery and drive train ?

i.e. batteries and motors might be 8/100K separate from transmission CV, struts, etc. that are 5/60k ?

it would be nice to have a clear official reference from @Ford Motor Company

I think the they’re pretty explicit about what’s covered under the battery portion of the warranty. Presumably the powertrain is everything else that provides motive power.

I would like to see an explicit list of the high dollar items and coverage:

HV battery & HVBJB
Hv>LV DC DC converter
charger, port
motors,
coolant pumps
transmission
CV half shafts
struts

I have always found that electronics (like the center display) either die within 90 days, or last 10+ years. 36k mile/3yr warranty on all that stuff seems to cover it as long as the drivetrain has 100k/8yr.

My thinking is that 'extended warranties' would not be offered if the insurance company doesn't USUALLY win. Start a savings account, and put that same amount in every month or year.... and I'll bet you come out ahead financially.

Thanks for bringing logic to this post that reads a little too much like an ad for granger Ford

I just got back my car after twenty three days in the shop for a recall. The battery had to be removed and a replacement part installed. What would have that cost if it wasn’t on Ford? I’m guessing a whole lot more than I wanted to spend. I immediately went on line Granger/ford and purchased a ten year 85,000 mile warranty with some add ons. The warranty is transferable..

The HVBJB repair costs about $1500 with parts+labor.

It's covered under the 8 yr/100k EV warranty. Some of the small parts may not be covered.

I am hoping that @Ford Motor Company can officially clarify
... I would not want to hazard I guess on what is covered under which program without seeing it in writing

As @Mach1E says, the powertrain warranty is only 5 years/60K miles, not 8 years/100K miles. I was surprised by this too when I recently discovered it.

It spells the components out in the warranty book I linked. But yeah, powertrain “non battery” are joints, axles etc. see post #24.

That's basically any insurance. I've paid far, far more than I've received between home/auto/life insurance premiums.

True, though those are beneficial in that they pay for catastrophic losses that are impossible for most people to self-insure. Car extended warranties don't typically fit that bill.

Or....................Granger.

Extended warranties are more times than not, not worth it.

If you are worried about your car costing a mint down the road for repairs I would dump it. A warranty is like a used car sales person. It sounds too good to be true.....................and they are correct.

It's the same in California, we can't buy an online warranty either. What, you thought it was just a Republican thing?

It's because in California, extended warranty's are an Insurance policy and are covered under a different set of rules.


/thanks Auto Dealers...

/There's a workaround

I agree! I wouldn’t buy an extended warranty unless a several thousand dollar bill would be a financial disaster. Remember that the insurance companies are in it to make Money. They set their rates based on average repair costs plus a good profit. you only win if you expect to have larger than average repairs.
