ESP is like all insurance, gambling. You are risking money for something that might happen and will be covered for equal or less than your plan cost. You are also gambling that your vehicle will be fully trouble free beyond your factory warranty. Companies are gambling that they never have to pay out anything but sales commissions. All my ESP purchases have been a winner for me. On my 93 Explorer XLT, it fully covered parts and labor for trans replacement beyond standard miles. On my 2005 Explorer XLT, it covered failed fuel system and intake repairs. On my 2014 Sport, it fully covered replacement of premium drivers seat and rear hatch auto lift, which were beyond standard mileage warranty. With complexities of mechanical and electrical design in these vehicles, I like being able to have the ESP. Some of my other cars in the past had a third party ESP policy which always was worthless when trying to get things fixed in a timely manner at no cost based on the policy. I stick with the manufacturers policy now.
