Warranty

I guess I should have included some of this info. with my earlier post about my car. Thankfully the new engine will be covered under warranty, but we've learned a few things about that. Our new car warranty would have been voided if we had taken our car to any place other than a Ford dealership. Only Ford is supposed to service our car under warranty or a Ford authorized service station. Technically we've broken this rule, but no one has asked. We had one oil change at a different service station. We also don't have the "extended" warranty (does anyone actually pay the extra couple thousand for that?). So we're not sure that they're going to cover everything. We've already been told that they won't cover our rental car expenses, even though this is clearly their fault. I went to get a few of our carseats out of the car (remember we have 5 of those) and I made it very clear that we did not plan on paying a dime for this repair. It was actually rather funny; when I pulled in the dealership, I was immediately swarmed by a few salesmen. I quickly informed them that I would never, ever be buying another Ford again and that they could save their breath! This has all just been disappointing. It's the first new car we've ever owned. But this is just life! It's always something!
