Out of warranty is out of warranty. Not many companies will offer anything for something out of warranty. Is it horrible timing, yes, does it suck, yes. Im sure I would have been pissed too. But I dont think a company is a bad company and deserves to get slammed because they wouldnt fix something for free that is out of warranty. A company cant make any money fixing out of warranty issues for free, it is what it is. Might be part of why Ford didnt need govt assistance. I think its nice the dealer offered some sort of discount at all.
