[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1589768, member: 35543"] Simple answer: NO. The aftermarket warranty companies are all about maximizing profit. They sell you a warranty under the premise that they won't have to pay out. When you file a claim, they have a playbook of excuses to avoid paying the claim. Most of this will be evident in the fine print of the warranty contract, but they may use as many legal terms as possible to confuse the average consumer. I have seen many sad stories of customers who have needed repairs outside of OE coverage and have tried to get it fixed through their aftermarket warranty. The aftermarket warranty company will typically start by requesting all maintenance records, hoping to fine even a small discrepancy. They may send out an inspector to try and find a reason that the repair isn't covered. They will bully the dealer on the cost of the diagnosis and repair costs, sometimes to the point where the vehicle rots on the lot in a stalemate as all parties argue back and forth. And if they do have to eventually pay out, they will try and use junkyard parts first and foremost. My recommendation is Ford ESP/Protect, or don't bother. [/QUOTE]
