Hey guys, my sister in laws 2013 limited exhaust broke right after the flex joint (one that looks like a heat sink) on the front pipe (right beneath drivers floor pan).
It didn't separate at what looks like a joint.
Obviously it sounds horrible.
It's a certified explorer with about 70k on it (she's well outside her 1 year bumper to bumper)
Before I send her to ford i'd just like to know if this is common?
Any chance it falls under the certified warranty (I looked, does not appear to)
Possibly the emissions warranty? Again, i'm thinking not.
Does this happen often?
Looks like ford wants like $350 for the pipe, but it can be had from other sources for about $230.
I'm willing to repair it for her if ford wants to whack her on the price, I gotta figure they are going to hit her for at least $500.
Thanks for any input.
