Last year when I purchased the X i purchase a 12month/12,000 PremiumCare Warranty for $1,000. the X is at 58,000 and will expire at little over 62,000 miles.
The reason why I purchased the ESP the first time was because my 99 XLT was horrible everything you can possible think that could go wrong did. from the transmission, transfer case, problems with the rear diff and etc.
I purchase the vehicle at around 50,000 miles and so far the dealer fixed:
-tie rods which where too tight
-rear differential overhaul
-change some linkage( i think the transmission linkage)- had problems shifting out of park...still do sometimes
-wheel bearing broke on passenger side- couple of weeks ago
- sway bar bushing- was covered but it was less than my deductible
have to go back again because the steering is messed up again.
I'm sure this is well over $1,000 worth of work. But is it worth to get another one, i am worried that as soon as i decide not to get it the transmission will go, timing chain, rear end goes..again...and with my luck all of these might happen all at once..
With your experience with this gen. at close to 60,000 miles, is there anything that will most likely come up...big repairs?
fordwarranty quotes me Premiumcare 24months /24,000miles with $50 deductible for $1,660 probably take off a few with the promo code. <<< worth it or no?
I don't want to waste money but than again I don't want to be stuck without a vehicle(only one).
