That’s horrible and I hate stealerships trying to **** people out of warranties. Just make trucks that aren’t ****. And then stand by it when mistakes happen. Basic man stuff. Cowards. Glad you made out positive. All the brands try this crap.
Had a 2019 Expedition 100 miles over warranty with a carrier bearing out. They tried to quote me $3500 for a whole differential replacement and wouldn’t accept any argument for just replacing the bearing. They wanted to extort me for $1400 after offering “financial assistance” (from their own extortion), for a $200 bearing, $20 of gear oil, and an hour of time.
I paid a mechanic $400 to do it, and that was 15000 miles ago…huh, the diff was fine after all, huh Ford? **** you.
Glad you got over on them. Rat bastards.
Makes my blood boil.
