Ford Engine Warranty: The Heart of Your Vehicle is Protected
Learn about the Ford engine warranty, providing essential coverage to keep the heart of your vehicle protected and running smoothly for years to come.
Your Ford’s engine is the powerhouse that drives every adventure, ensuring you get where you need to go reliably and efficiently.
But what happens if this vital component runs into trouble? Understanding your Ford engine warranty and the benefits of a Ford Protect Extended Warranty can provide peace of mind and protect you from costly repairs. At Granger Ford, we’re dedicated to helping you safeguard your investment and keep your Ford running strong for years to come.
Ford recognizes the importance of a dependable engine, which is why the standard warranty offers comprehensive coverage. Here’s what’s included:
Warranty Feature | Details |
Powertrain Limited Warranty | The 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty covers essential components of your Ford’s powertrain, including the engine, transmission, and drive system. |
Diesel Engine Warranty | Ford’s diesel engine-equipped vehicles often receive longer coverage—5 years/100,000 miles—reflecting Ford’s confidence in the durability of its diesel engines. |
What’s Covered | Major components such as the engine block, cylinder heads, crankshaft, pistons, valves, timing chain, water pump, and fuel pump are included in the coverage. |
What’s Not Covered | Routine wear and tear items, maintenance services, and damage from misuse or accidents are excluded. Spark plugs, hoses, and filters fall under routine maintenance. |
The Powertrain Warranty provides extensive protection for your Ford’s core components, ensuring that defects in materials or workmanship are covered for the duration of the warranty period.
Even with regular care and maintenance, engines can encounter problems. Here are some common issues that could arise and how they might be covered under warranty:
Engine Issue | Possible Causes | Warranty Coverage |
Engine Overheating | Faulty thermostat, radiator issues, or coolant leaks. | Covered if related to defective parts. |
Oil Leaks | Worn gaskets, seals, or oil pan issues. | Covered if due to a manufacturing defect in covered components. |
Knocking or Ticking Noises | Worn bearings, piston issues, or timing chain problems. | Covered if the noise is linked to a defect in the engine system. |
Loss of Power | Sensor malfunctions, fuel system issues, or air intake problems. | Covered if related to a faulty component under warranty. |
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s critical to bring your vehicle to a certified Ford technician for a proper diagnosis. Ford’s warranty ensures you won’t be left with the bill for covered repairs.
Engine repairs can range from minor fixes to major overhauls. Having an engine warranty can protect you from potentially significant repair bills. Here’s a look at typical engine repair costs:
Repair Type | Estimated Cost |
Minor Repairs | Thermostat replacement, water pump repairs, or sensor replacements can range from $200 to $1,000. |
Major Repairs | Timing chain replacements or head gasket repairs can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000. |
Engine Replacement | In the most severe cases, a full engine replacement can cost $5,000 or more, depending on your vehicle. |
These potential repair costs highlight the importance of having solid warranty coverage, whether through Ford’s standard warranty or an extended service plan.
While the standard engine warranty provides strong protection, a Ford Protect Extended Warranty extends that peace of mind beyond the initial warranty period. Ford Protect offers multiple plans to fit your needs and budget:
Ford Protect Plan | Coverage Overview | Ideal For |
PremiumCARE | The most comprehensive option, covering over 1,000 components, including the engine, transmission, and other critical systems. | Owners seeking maximum protection for peace of mind. |
ExtraCARE | Provides extensive coverage for major components like the engine, without the broader coverage of PremiumCARE. | Drivers who want robust protection without the full cost. |
BaseCARE | Covers essential components, including the engine and transmission. | Budget-conscious owners seeking basic protection. |
PowertrainCARE | Focuses primarily on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. | Owners focused on protecting the core powertrain components. |
