Your Ford’s engine is the powerhouse that drives every adventure, ensuring you get where you need to go reliably and efficiently.

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.

Understanding Ford’s Standard Engine Warranty

Ford recognizes the importance of a dependable engine, which is why the standard warranty offers comprehensive coverage. Here’s what’s included:

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.

Common Engine Issues & Warranty Coverage

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 Overheating: Overheating can be caused by various factors such as a faulty thermostat, radiator issues, or a coolant leak. If the root cause is a defective part, the warranty may cover the repair.
• Oil Leaks: Leaks can result in reduced engine lubrication and, if unaddressed, could lead to significant damage. Ford’s warranty typically covers the repair if the leak is caused by a defect in a covered component.
• Engine Knocking or Ticking: Strange noises from the engine could indicate internal issues like worn bearings or problems with the pistons. If these are due to a defect, repairs would likely be covered under the warranty.
• Loss of Power or Performance: A noticeable drop in engine performance can be caused by anything from faulty sensors to issues with the fuel system. Warranty coverage depends on the specific part affected.

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.
