Roll call - truck owners & under warranty $

[5Cent]

18 data points is not near enough, this will take months to get a decent response rate from as many members as possible, just for the sake of TOO (which is the intended audience, there are plenty of industry leading analytical groups & reports out there for the masses). I have little interest in customer sentiment for used vehicles that are purchased as-is. Thats a decision that is made for a variety of reasons, none of which are my business. That's also a wide paint brush, but we have plenty of comments that throw an OEM under the bus when examples like Phil's are out there. There is no way to know what that product went thru before the next owns it. That's not Fords fault, that's not Phil's fault, that was prior owner. There are also plenty of comments/known "remove all the aftermarket, refresh the CPU" out there, but yet folks will refuse to use that knowledge when making a purchase on a used vehicle b/c they're looking for a deal.

Data points schmatta points, if you have a warranty you are covered.....hopefully 100% as it should be. If you pay for an Extended Warranty then you in theory ARE paying for the repairs, just maybe not as much in the end. You don't ever use the Extended Warranty then you paid for nothing (other than peace of mind) which means the product you purchased was reliable in YOUR situation. As Clay mentioned, when a manufacturer knows there is a problem and instead lowers the warranty period rather than find a real solution to help those affected....that sucks. Especially when there are years of vehicles affected with the same problems and they continue to sell them that way. Is it my fault that we potentially bought one of those vehicles? Sure. I should have done better research and not looked back at all the same brand vehicles I owned over the years that were relatively flawless.

2011 Ranger - at 28 miles…yes 28 miles woke up to every drop of tranny fluid on the ground. Factory did not “dip the bolts in sealer”. Sure. Fixed under warranty.

2019 F150. - at 25000 miles oil feed line to turbo replaced under warranty.

2018 Colorado - 72000 replaced 1 caliper and a fuel sensor. Out of warranty.

For the other thread. Until that one is created to collect data points (hate to break it to ya, data is used in everything.....design, root cause analysis, and corrective actions), let's try and keep this one clean. I encourage you to continue to think of all the high $ items (to me, anything over $1K) that have a warranty, we're offered an extended warranty, etc. Some things to think about- Why do people pay for an extended warranty on appliances, but not cars? How many still have a home warranty? Both the vehicle and the home are way more important for daily life "needs" vs. convenience of not having to hand wash clothes/dishes or to heat up food. Why is there a difference in expectation? These are those types of questions for that thread. This one is cut and dry as possible. You bought a new(er) high $ product with certain expectations, and the OEM provides a warranty on that product for its expected lifespan to operate without issue or to protect from manufacturer defect. I'm looking to understand which, if any, of the OEMs are not standing behind their products those days.

Talk into extended warranty on my Colorado by the finance guy that you talk to after the sales guy. Two thousand dollars over the life of the loan then a hundred dollar copay if you use it. I have a couple things I could take it in for but would just rather live with it. Once they tear your shit apart it is never the same. Dealers are just as fucked up as the company. There's two things that are impossible to find today. A good car dealer and a good doctor. Can't wait to try out Toyota.
