Any dealers are "busy" too! I brought mine in, scheduled, becaise it needed a forced update because it would not update on it's own. It was going to take 3 hours. I call at the end of my work day to see how its going and if I could come get my truck, they hadn't even looked at it yet because...
It just needs to be transferred for a small fee I believe. Or you get a refund of time left. As in my case, 6 year warranty, 3 years later get 3 years worth (50%) back.
That's why I made sure I had my wiz bang new first year 2021 F150 Powerboost Hybrid covered by extended warranty. If something failed after the manufacturers warranty, costs could be insane. Got cold feet about hanging on to the Powerboost for a long time and traded it in at peak trade time, 3...
Yes. And I am assuming that buying it at the end of the factory warranty period cost more than if purchased at time of original purchase. That's the only incentive to buy it up front.
Yup. Researching would be a great idea. But you're in the Finance guy's office cranking out the deal on your new truck. I did get $8k off and no premium for being on the lot, unlike previous years. I was happy. Plus I got my 5.0, 36 gallon gas tank, dual exhaust and max towing package back...
Every time I buy a new F150 my intent is to hod onto it long term, but so far they have all been not worthy. And best course was to trade them in while I could and get best return. Though buying new, etc., is messy financially and not a very fiscally responsible process. (But that could be...
That was my understanding. So I assumed there would be no financial liability until I was in the extended warranty period. I am not, yet. I was still at under 3 years, original factory warranty. So apparently you are charged for the first three years. Each year of the 6 years (even though you...
Good luck.
My dealer appeared clueless to Powerboost, hybrids and their issues. Get"the look" too, when you try to tell them what's up because you read a forum on the Internet.
No more Powerboost for me thank you.
Firstly, thanks for your feedback.
I hear you on the 6 year thing. The "shabby" part is being charged by the warranty company for 3 years that it had no responsibility to cover anything. But I will assume that if I went to buy the 3 additional years at the end of the factory 3 years, it would...
Bought a new 2021 F150 Powerboost a few years ago. 6 year Ford Protect extended warranty.
Just traded it in on a new 2024 F150 5.0 (different dealer).
Cancelled the extended warranty and only got approx half the money refunded.
My Powerboost was still under 3 years old and had 15,500 miles on...
First off, didn't bother replying to the Ford "Support" bot. They will never get back to you.
Secondly, your problem is a faulty auxiliary tranmission pump. Tell the dealer this. Otherwise they may not have a clue and will diagnostic you to death. Not too long ago there was a 6 month wait on...
"Ford Motor Company" is only a bot and you'll never hear from them again unfortunately.
My 2021 Powerboost squeaked so bad. Sounded like the whole suspension. Squeaking like a rusty old truck. Very embarrassing and unacceptable. After getting endless recalls, a bad electronic transmission pump...
What's with all the clicking noises, like door locks or something when you get near the vehicle, etc. I come home, turn off the truck. Put the keys in the front door of the house(fob on those keys). Probably leave the keys dangling from the front door, but they are not with me. I go in the...
My 2021 Powerboost now lives with a low battery. So all the fancy electronic stuff, simple as interior lights don't well in the morning protecting itself apparently. No lighting as you walk up to it, nothing. Open the door, it's dark (early in the morning...). Hell a base Toyota Camry has more...
