Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | 1DSoon - 2016-12-21 11:34 AM here is an irrefutable fact folks.
Mechanical things break. It happens. I don't care if it's dodge, ford, chevy, etc and so forth.
The fact that the dealer is not taking care of dealer business is the issue. And the truck does not need an "after market" radiator. If you special go to mechanic says it does, you need another special go to mechanic

Location: The edge of no where | Here's what Ford is going to cover -
(1) Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended coverage applies to the Engine: all internal lubricated parts, cylinder block, cylinder heads, electrical fuel pump, electronic engine control unit, engine mounts, flywheel, injection pump, manifold (exhaust and intake), manifold bolts, oil pan, oil pump, seals and gaskets, thermostat, thermostat housing, timing chain cover, timing chain (gears or belt), turbocharger/supercharger unit, valve covers, water pump; 10 Transmission: all internal parts, clutch cover, seals and gaskets, torque converter, transfer case (including all internal parts), transmission case, transmission mounts; Front-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, bearings (front and rear), center support bearing, drive shafts, final drive housing (including all internal parts), hubs-automatic front locking (four-wheel drive), locking rings (four-wheel drive), seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints; Rear-Wheel Drive: axle shafts, bearings (front and rear), center support bearing, drive axle housing (including all internal parts), drive shaft, propeller shafts, retainers, supports, seals and gaskets, universal and constant velocity joints. (2) Your vehicle’s safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) are covered for an extended Safety Restraint Coverage Period, which lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. (3) Your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an extended Corrosion Coverage Period, which lasts for five years, regardless of miles driven. The extended warranty coverage only applies if a body sheet metal panel becomes perforated due to corrosion during normal use due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty − our policy is to provide free repair of paint damage due to the airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. (4) Your vehicle’s direct injection diesel engine and certain engine components are covered during the PowerStroke Diesel Engine Coverage Period, which lasts for five years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The following parts are covered during this extended coverage period: the engine, cylinder block, heads and all internal parts, intake and exhaust manifolds, timing gear, harmonic balancer, valve covers, oil pan and pump, water pump, fuel system (excluding fuel lines, fuel tank and frame mounted fuel conditioning module sometimes referred to as the frame mounted pump/filter/water separator), high pressure lines, gaskets and seals, glow plugs, turbocharger, two-stage turbocharger assembly, turbocharger actuator, powertrain control module, engine control module, high pressure fuel injection pump assembly, electronic driver unit, injectors, injection pressure sensor, fuel rail pressure sensor, high pressure oil regulator, exhaust back pressure regulator and sensor, 11 exhaust pressure sensor, manifold pressure sensor, intake air temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, accelerator switch. | |

Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | Something else to understand - the dealership is not paying for warranty repairs - Ford does. In order for the dealership to be reimbursed for repairs, Ford will have to approve the work done. The dealer isn't going to randomly decide what is and isn't warranty work. A good dealer can be a great advocate to Ford, but it's not their call. Powertrain warranties cover a very limited number of parts - it has nothing to do with something being considered a major component.
What the dealership is charging for repairs does seem excessive, but as another poster mentioned - having someone else work on your truck doesn't void the warranty.

If I had an extended warranty the dealership would use the same bad parts that are causing this issue. Although I was assured by the dealership that this new radiator does not have this specific design flaw. So if Ford knows about this issue then why are the parts and labor being passed off to the customer? This dealership represents Ford and it's products, so when customers get angry about cheap crappy parts that they are using, they should understand!! I haven't even had this truck for 1 year and it only has 50,000 miles. The radiator needs to be more realiable and Ford needs to man up and fix it's mistakes. These trucks are super expensive and need to be made with quality parts, if that's what your charging to buy one!!!

dealer problem.Â
your warranty does not have to be out to have someone else work on your truck.
That radiator is anywhere from $250-500 so that leaves you $1500 for labor. Seems excessive.
Also, I'm still wondering why the coolant system is not covered on your powertrain coverage. mechanic wants to put in a different radiator so that this issue does not happen again.  That voids my warranty. Like I said i'm waiting on a call back from Ford to find out the outcome. I also agree that it's ridiculous to cost that much.
My husband use to work for a Ford dealership. I asked him about the power train warranty and he said that it specifically only covers the motor and the transmission.
This is correct!!!! | |

So did you purchase an extended powertrain warranty? Because for it to be 100K coverage you would have had to. We're driving two of that same model and to go past 60K, you had to purchase an additional warranty. | |

No it came with 100,000 mile when we bought it back in Feb 2016. They said powertrain is 100,000/ 5 yr I spoke with them this afternoon and they said Ford would reimburse us for $500. I'm so done with Ford. | |

| First. You can look up TSBs online for your model and year. Second, you can ask the dealership if there are any TSBs concerning this problem with the radiator. If the dealership still refuses to provide information tell them you want/WILL speak to a factory rep. Document everything and show this documentation, including the info about this being a common problem. In short, make a LOT of noise!
My friend use to be a factory rep and could resolve issues like these.
Good luck!

Location: NW MT | First off - I am sorry you are going through this. Second - good luck w/Ford - Ford Motor Company SUCKS!! I had bought a brand new F350 Powerstroke in 1997. First **** transmission went out before 20,000 miles & I had not even towed with it yet! By 50,000 miles, it had 5 new ones in it - one was in only long enough for the test drive & they took it right back out! They replaced junk with junk! I bought it in MI & was living in AZ then ... thank goodness since I had dealerships all over the Phoenix valley to go to with EACH transmission problem! A dealer would say "we'll take care of you", replace the tranny, tell me if I have any problems with THAT one, come back." Well, they wanted NOTHING to do w/me or that POS truck if I had issues! I called FMC several times ... was told 2 "wonderful" things: 1 - was that all the info went to the "higher ups" but to not expect ANY resolution to fixing it & 2 - was that they "would" declare it a lemon if I pursued it, and they would "tag" it as such but would NOT give me a different truck, reimburse me, ANYTHING & if I tried to trade it in anywhere, they would see the "lemon tag" & not give me squat for it. I am dead serious on this, they were HORRIBLE. At one point, I was hauling my 4H LQ trailer w/2 horses from there to the Tetons in WY & then back to MI & took it in since it was acting up again. Dealer told me "there's no problem with it". So I told him that I needed a signed statement from him, stating just that. AND that ALL of the paperwork from the POS' issue was with my brother, so if that transmission went out & I crashed & burned in the mountains on this trip, they WOULD be sued, their dealership & Ford! He started stuttering & stammering & guess what? They put another new tranny in it before I left. A few months later, THAT transmission started going out - would not shift - then bounce back & forth between 2nd & 3rd, then SLAM into 4th (this was an automatic) - people along side me on the freeway in Phoenix would look at me since they could even hear it! Service mgr goes on a test drive (me with him) & didn't even get to the end of the block & says "this is bad, it's got to go in" .... after we got back, owner of dealership came out & told me to take my truck, they were doing NOTHING with it again!! So I kept driving the POS until I had NO reverse & it was barely going down the road & another dealership took it in for replacement. I moved to MT not long after that (all of these trannies were replaced in a 2 yr span) & it barely got me up here. I traded it off as soon as I could on a DODGE and I will NEVER give FMC another penny of my money. Sorry for the book, but their crap was so stressful on me & I hate seeing someone else go through the same s%^t I did with their crappy parts!  | |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | The newer ford trucks do have problems with the radiator but that should be your only problem with the newer trucks. The supplier for radiators had suppliers problems and older equipement making the radiators thus passed on to the public. I understand your pain. Ours cost 3-5 thousand everytime something goes wrong. Purchase an extended warranty for your truck it will save you the BIG bucks when it comes to maintenance. Save up and save yourself the headaches. | |

I was on the verge of doing this, but I had the dealership do it. They said that Ford would only cover $500, but I would only have to pay $700 total. The dealership was covering the rest. I'm not sure what we will do after this. I really like the way the truck runs and pulls our trailer. I've thought of just trading it in for a Chevy, but the whole reason I'm with Ford is that Chevy sold me a blazer I got lemon law on. So now I'm stuck. I do really like my diesel guy, he says that these trucks are very solid except this issue and possibly the turbo, so I'm stuck and I'm sure Chevy has it's problems too. | |

| Here is your real problem and why dealerships are not willing to do any kind of expensive warranty work ...
and if you call Fomoco they will just route you back to the dealer .... WHY???
Because Ford pays the dealer a hidden subsidy to take care of warranty work
on the cars they sell leaving only a very small pool of money for Ford to use
if the truck shows up at another dealership or out of town etc etc ...
Your greedy dealers immediately decided the pre-paid avg on warranties was
their personal money and will do very limited warranty work as the look at
it as part of their profits .... so screw the consumers ... greed has a very ugly head ... lol ..
I had a lemon disel F350 and when I would take it in I would leave with 2 different problems and got the run around like you guys are getting ..... I put 3 yellow with black lettering magnetic LEMON SIGNS ... doors on both sides and tailgate ...
and found a reason to leave it parked close to any Ford dealer that was near to whatever I was doing ... lol .... I had Ford dealers ticked off and even the police called on the truck to remove the signs ... police laughed when they saw the signs ... I had cheap yellow business cards made with my contact info under the word LEMON on the cards and gave one to anyone that wanted one ... wasn't long Ford rep contacted me angry then agreeing to replace the truck from a
dealership in another county with no mileage used fees ..... I ordered the truck with no rear factory bumper which are worthless .... this is how Ford dealers try to get revenge even tho this dealer was doing delivery for Ford ... after it came into the dealer they put a rear bumper on it, did the scotch guard treatment and sandblasted VIN number on windows as a security theft deal and charged me for make ready .... $2400 for this dealer trash ... I called the Ford rep and told him that if I did not have the keys and signed title in my hand in 30 minutes the next voice would be an attorney ....... I had my key and paper work slammed on the hood of the truck in a matter of minutes with paid marked on the bill they tried to con me with. I traded this Ford with 168 miles on it for a 3500 cummins and never had a problem again .... been a dodge truck fan ever since ... the dodge dealer and dodge district rep parked it on one of those inclined risers in front of the dealership and it drew a crowd of dodge truck buyers ... lol .. I was told later that Ford bought the truck back from the dodge dealer to make it disappear even tho it was not the lemon truck .. lol ...
I bet the person above with the transmission problems was getting rebuilt transmissions from a ford rebuilder or independent national transmission rebuilder and they kept turning bad .... all of your dealers regardless of brand ... buy autozone, oreilly or rebuilders parts with life time warranties and just keep trading them back for another transmission, starter, alternator, ac units or whatever ... and everyone makes some money!!
How do you think they keep building all of those 10 million dollar dealerships??
And don't forget .. when Obama "saved" GM and Dodge from going bankrupt he let them do away with over 3100 small town dealerships and Ford got a deal on less warranty as did tire companies and a government deal to buy all fords for a number of years .... lol ... bet you have also forgotten Obama's CASH FOR CLUNKERS and we sold china the scrap from almost 4 million cars and they built their first aircraft carrier out of the scrap....
We now have a successful businessman that also believes in God willing to try to save our butts .......... so we better stand with him and vote as many democrats out of office from local to national offices as possible and boycott news stations and their advertisers while letting them know by tweets, letters their home pages or just giving them free bad press at every opportunity ...
OBAMA and HILLARY'S liberals are not going away .... they will continue to campaign against everything Trump tries to do for the next 4 years and try to elect a muslim .... they now have a muslim heading the DNC ... GRRRR
SORRY FOR THE BOOK ... BUT MADE ME FEEL GOOD .. LOL
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
