The warranty for a new Ford lasts for three years or up to 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Additionally, your new Ford will have warranties for the powertrain, corrosion, safety restraint system, hybrid component, emissions defect, and diesel engine (if applicable). Some drivers may elect to purchase an extended warranty from their Ford dealer to extend vehicle protection.
Each of Ford’s extended coverage warranties can last for up to 10 years or 175,000 miles. Some drivers may choose a shorter warranty term. You can sign up for one of these warranties when the new car limited warranty period expires.
PowertrainCare
The most basic plan is PowertrainCare, which covers 29 parts of your powertrain. The limited coverage only applies to the drive axles, engine, and transmission.
BaseCare
This basic warranty package covers 84 vehicle components, which include the powertrain and the steering system.
ExtraCare
This warranty plan covers 113 vehicle components with fewer limitations for the steering, high-tech, and brake systems. Limited coverage for the engine, transmission, and air conditioning is included in this warranty plan.
Premium Care
The PremiumCare plan will extend the full coverage of your factory warranty, which includes more than 1,000 vehicle components.
Should You Ask Your Ford Dealer About Supplemental Coverage Options?
In addition to one of the four main longer-term warranty options, drivers can also opt into up to six supplemental coverage options. These supplemental warranty plans each last for up to seven years and can help drivers focus coverage on specific parts of the vehicle that aren’t covered by the main warranty options.
TireCare Plus
This supplemental coverage option will cover the cost of replacing or repairing a tire that is damaged by a covered event, such as driving over nails, glass, potholes, metal, or road debris.
Windshield Care
The Windshield Care plan will cover the repair costs for minor cracks and chips in your windshield, which can save you a lot of money on repair costs.
DentCare
The DentCare plan can reduce the cost of auto body repairs if your vehicle is dented from an accident. Only minor dents are covered under this plan.
TripleCare Plus
This warranty plan combines the benefits of the previous three supplemental coverage options. It might be a good idea to bundle this plan with your extended coverage warranty to maximize your vehicle protection.
SurfaceCare
For drivers who are concerned about wear and tear, the SurfaceCare plan is a great option. This warranty plan will cover interior and exterior surface damages under covered circumstances.
Extending the coverage period of your warranty can save you significant money in repair costs over the years. To learn more about your warranty options, contact Chestatee Ford.
