Default 2006 WARRANTY CONCERNS

I and I am sure 1000's of other people have purchased a Ford vehicle in 2006. A 2006 Model Year Ford or Mercury vehicle sold on or after July 14, 2006 will be covered by a complementary 5 years / 60,000 miles Ford ESP PowertrainCARE Extended Service Contract with a $100 deductible.

I purchased my 2006 Mustang GT on June 26, 2006 and also opted for an extended 1 yr warrenty more than the 3yr that cost $995 and I was very PISSED to say the least that the warrenty changed to 5 years / 60,000 miles on July 14th!

Everyone that has a 2006 and got screwed on the warranty change should contact Ford's Customer Relations Office to express their concerns. Maybe if enough people call they will change the policy and make all 2006 Fords have the same warranty coverage.

It sure bites, but that is what happens. And you can foresee that sort of thing when they have to get rid of their 2006 stock to start selling the new 2007 model year. This time you're the one screwed, next time it's another guy. Would you have a fit too if they sold the 2007 car with 20 more horsepower?

Fact: You bought a 2006 car, and get the warranty coverage for that model year.
Fact: You bought it before the close out sale really started on the 06's.
Fact: You therefore are NOT eligable for the percs that come with the close out sale, or the new model year for that matter.

Sure, I would have been pissed off. But you simply can't ask ford to extend the warranty for all the 2006 year. Hell, then us 2005's will feel left out.
