Ford Motor Company Poor performance of product and poor warranty to cover Dearborn Michigan

While 58K isn't a lot of miles for a transimission it is mechanical and mechanical things do fail. Your other Ford vehicles served you well unfortunately this one did not. I don't think a transmission failure and only 36K warranty is grounds to have an auto maker close up shop.

As for the other auto makers, the high milage warranties don't impress me. Since most vehicles will run over 100,000 miles without any major powertrain repairs needed. So how many customers get to use the warranty? I personally would like to see the data on how many people actually get to use those factory warranties against those who don't

We all know people who have cars and the only time they had an oil change is when the oil light came on and yet they still get over 100K miles on them.

I feel the high milage warranties are done to give people that warm fuzzy feeling that a vehicle must be good if they will place a 100K warranty on it.

Case in point, My car is going into the shop monday to have the tranny rebuilt. This is the first major repair. I now have 166,000 miles on it.
The only other repairs were the altenator and water pump, all changed after 130,000 miles (I do a lot of driving). Most of the Vehicles I've had were over 150K when I got rid of them. My last one had 189K and I gave it to my son who drove it another year, With no major repairs. For someone like me if auto makers want to impress me they should offer a 150,000 or 175,000 mile warranty to the original owner.

For what its worth, I understand your frustration and it would be nice if a auto maker would stand behind their product a bit better when there is only 58K on it
