Just spoke with the ford rep, they do require me to give authorization and to assume responsibility for the cost of tear down.
I'm going to try to get the extended warranty to cover it. Otherwise if I pay $1850 to tear it down & ford doesn’t take responsibility then im out
$1850 for the tear down &
$1800 for the warranty. Risking $1850 to save $1800 doesn’t make sense to me.
Plus I just read the extended warranty contract, they must be contacted prior to any work being done on the vehicle or the contract is voided & they do not cover tear downs.
& my driver heated seats and both power mirrors stopped working so I’ll have them do that too
