johnmarkp Posted Tuesday at 11:36 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:36 PM I just got a notice from Ford that I could extend my Blue Advantage service plan. I least I think it was from Ford. I go to the web site and put in the reference number I got from them. It would not work, there was a problem. The message said I should join a Chat to resolve the issue. Of course they wanted my email address, for no good reason. When I got on line with the Chat lady I was told that she could not solve the issue and that I needed to talk to one of there sales reps. I wonder if this web site works at all or if it is designed to fail so I have to call one of their sales reps. A high pressure sales rep, I am sure. This is total BS and makes me want to buy anything but a Ford for my next car. When did flat out lying to your customers become standard business practice. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STBEAST Posted yesterday at 05:48 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:48 AM So many scams now days. Be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Edge Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Sounds like just another scam. I would regularly get notices that my extended warranty was going to expire and I needed to contact the warranty company. These notices were not from Ford, although they made it look like they were from Ford, but some 3rd party either trying to run a scam or trying to get me to buy warranty coverage I did not need. Simply go on-line to your Ford account and check your warranty and check your warranty paperwork you got when you purchased the vehicle.

johnmarkp Posted 19 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Well I have a little egg on my face. The offer was legit and it is a Ford program. I still did not like how things started where I was pushed to talk to sales. Out of curiosity, I did call them. The person I talked to was pleasant and helpful, not at all what I expected. The big problem is the cost, $2400 a year for my 2019 with 95K. I get that that age and mileage are factors in the cost. I don't think I am going to do it. But it has given me something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Edge Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Well, think about this: Take that $2400 / yearly cost and put it in a separate bank account and use that money for big repair bills. After a few years, that will be a tidy sum to dip into. If you never need it, then you have a bundle of cash for something else. If it was me, I would not pay that. Too much money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Like all insurance, it's a gamble. If it was for the SEL with the internal coolant pump, it might be worth that insurance. Is it a service plan or an extended warranty plan? If I was considering this type of thing I'd stay well clear of the 3rd party ones and stick with Ford plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
